I take it back.

I love my freshmen.

So, yesterday, I went into the venerable Freddie Wong's room and started chatting with him, Ana, and Jen. The three of them started talking about the need to have a floor meeting. "It's very important... but I can't tell you what it's about!" Needless to say, I was a bit wary of the whole idea. I acquiesced, with the condition that they ask John. Evidently, as they were putting up the door notices later in the afternoon, John asked them what they were doing. The reply "Oh, Jen called a floor meeting" was given to my confused co-RA. So, when 9:30 rolled around, John and I were completely befuddled in regards to the purpose of this congregation.

Freddie started the meeting by relating the story of the fire alarm. Then he detailed John's and my participation in the capture of the hooligans. Then he pulled out two track trophies and presented these works of art to us.

Needless to say, I was shocked beyond belief.

My trophy reads, "Dep. Jen Noble, A Credit to the Force" while John's trophy mentions his "Noonan syndrome." John and I each made a speech. He talked about how his other trophies were stolen when he moved, so this was a big deal for him. I talked about how I only caught the bastards due to the fact that the cinema floor residents won't let me go to bed at a reasonable hour. It was sweet, simple, and heart-warming.

Yeah. I'm pretty happy right now.

By the way, I had a lovely chat with Tania yesterday. One of my residents wanted to spend the night at PIRC, so I drove her over there. Might as well do some visiting at the same time, right? Sadly, Matt, Molly, Nitin, and Ebonee were MIA, but at least I got to converse with Tania. I fussed at her for her lack of pictures with me on her wall... so, I'll post a picture of her just to prove I'm a better person than she.
