"Living Among Them"
Living among 469 WVU students in residential housing is an adventure everyday. It seems to never end and at the same time gives me so much energy. The youth of this building, Pierpont Hall at West Virginia University, seem to never slow down. This level of energy just flows through building like electricity threw wires.
Morgantown and WVU got over 20 inches of snow this past few weeks and I have seen more snowball fights and snowmen going up than I have the in my 50 years on this earth. We currently have a photo contest for Best photo of the "Bilzzard of 2010", I will post photos once they come into me and we can all vote on them. Most of the cars have been dug out by now and only a few are left buried in the snow.
Seems that the Resident Faculty Leader, (RFL) dinners are growing. A couple years before moving into the dorm, I bought a antique diner booth. Now in our kitchen at the dorm it is a great place for students to come and study, share a meal a cup of coffee or just sit and chat with each other or Dr. Ann and I.
Dr. Ann has decided to call the RFL dinners "Chat and Chew on Tuesday Night" Not a bad name for a dinner. More than 40 kids come on a regular basis and I would bet they will continue to grow. More and more the topics of the "chat" focuses on paper, assignments, study ideas and intern and work opportunities for the summer ahead. That old diner booth sure is getting alot of visitors.
