Tempus Fugit

Well , it was an experience.
The late night movie was Wall-e which I’d previously reported was Lam-e, so I opted for some reading time and turned in shortly after midnight. I was the only guy in the room. Shortly after settling in one of my roomies flys throught the room and asks on the way out “crashing so earlly?”. Not a good sign.
There is the somewhat expected racket through the night and I drift in and out all night, at least untill about 3am. In a semi-consious state I’m hearing a rhythmic “thwak, thwak, thwak”. It sounds like somebody hitting a stapler on a hollow desk. Then the memories start coming back from college days. That sound is a fast and furious air hockey game in the rec room below our sleeping area.
I’m up at 8 and pretty much alone and have the showers to myself. These young guys may be able to party all night but they are not so good about greeting the day. Breakfast is at 9 and I think about making a racket as I get going, but I don’t, let the lads sleep on. Soon enough they will be waking up at 5am and wishing they could sleep in forever llike they are today.
