So something I've noticed about res life is that certain things are much more exciting here than they would be at home. One of my absolute favorite things at res is every second Wednesday, because every second Wednesday is chicken-mayo-roll-and-chips day at the dining hall. At home, chicken mayo rolls are averagely interesting, but not day-brighteningly exciting. At res I can have a mind-splitting headache, been late for every lecture and tut and have broken my poor overused shoes while walking down the hill, but its okay... because it's chicken mayo day, and chicken mayo day makes Rhodes a better place. Some other things that are unreasonably exciting at res are the double thickness shower curtains that turn up every now and then, Wednesday nights at friars, sales on box wine or any cheap alcohol really, student discounts at any food providing organization, and when that movie or series you've been dying to see (but not enough to pay for it) fiiiannly gets put up on DC++. I'm still trying to decide if this different perspective we seem to have at res is good or bad. On the one hand, we're appreciating the smaller things in life, on the other hand we're turning into cheap ass, food guzzling, illegally-downloading, party animals with a drinking problem, that turn to chicken mayo rolls every time they have a shitty day. Yeah... that sounds about right. :)
