an aqueous solution
this is luter dorm waking up. theres a bunch of us hanging out in luter lounge. its 6:50 am. thing is, johnson is flooded. around 5, a pipe burst on third floor, pouring hot water and steam everywhere and setting the fire alarm off. tell you the truth, i was confused. didnt really get what was going on. but i jumped out of bed {not breaking anything} and got my priorities in order. i grabbed my camera, my hat, and my keys and got out.
meh, hold on. they're letting us back in.
ok, its 7:10 and my stuff is dropped and ive seen the third floor and taken pics so i will try and finish the story.
i got my camera and keys and got out. walking down the hall, realizing this probably wasnt immdiate danger {wasnt last time} so as we were about to go down the stairs i realized it was going to be really cold outside and all i was wearing was soccer shorts and so i handed my camera to brett and ran back to get a jacket. so now i am jacketed with soccer shorts and we push out into the cold. just like last time, everyone huddles around outside for a minute until the RAs push us away cause the firetrucks are coming. we all pile into tribble because, believe me, its cold. standing outside in soccer shorts just doesnt cut it.
we hung around in tribble, sitting in the halls, basically huddling. pissed off mostly. i had my camera but didnt want to bust it out because i was afraid of getting comments like "fuck you, i dont have any makeup on" or "get that shit out of my face"... you know how people are. after a while our RA walked in and told us that johnson second floor could come back for a minute or two to grab important stuff and cover up things. this is actually scary. walking back we noticed bostwick, across the way, being evacuated too. figures, being the sister bulding, the exact same damn thing happened to them, only thirty minutes later.
we wandered up the soaking we stairs into our parlor and down the hall. our hall is fine, so far. i go in and dress as fast as i can. jeans, tshirt, jacket, socks, shoes, hat. you know. hibernated the laptop and shoved it in the bookbag. took my camera and the ogb nikon {with the memory card out of the reader, foresight} and stuff like my wallet, phone, keys, etc. cross necklace. the important stuff.
i wandered out and around outside tribble before going back in front of johnson where i saw
holy shit. the motherfucking fire alarm just went off again. tense? really?
some people i knew. decided to walk over to luter and wake up some girls to let us in. luckily, critter had just gotten there and let us in himself. the couple of us hung out in their lounge before i decided to break out the ogb camera and take some pics. after i covered our guys, a couple of us went back out to johnson, firetrucks and all. people hanging around. sad faces. we talked to our RA for a minute and decided to go to reynolda, the green room specifically. i took a pic of brett sleeping against a lamppost in case i wrote a feature for a syndicated journal about the effects of stress on basketball players. there were a couple of our guys in the green room so i got them. brett, dan, and i walkd out to the quad. the chapel was gorgeous and i took a couple pics of it because i never have a camera when i want it. then i made them stop talking. it was deadly quiet out there. its rare that i get to be out there, beautiful as always, and its quiet. it was amazing. we all just stood there for a while and enjoyed it.
meh, walked back to green and back to luter and hung out a while. nothing much really happened. jordan woke up and greeted us then went off to take a shower. i decided we should make a johnson hall motto or slogan or something. i thought something like "no sex or alcohol but more water than we know what to do with" or "johnson: taking one for the team". "dry to wet in one morning" was suggested. about when i started writing this, word came that we could actually go home. albeit two hours late. this is good news, as we werent expecting to get out for another couple hours at least. after exploring a bit longer im sitting in our lounge trying to write. this isnt going to last long.
im going to breakfast. i got to see the sun come up. always some unexpected benefit to being awake so early. we heard some of the guys in our hall might have to move out. we decided then that they could rotate use of our rooms and it would be ok. johnson hall bands together. its like a movie. all in all, though it may not be over, its been good. and, although i still havent had a shower and i have a french test in two and a half hours that i havent studied for, im ok with that...
