Happiness and disappointments in some people...
I have had a great week for the most part. I've been very tired and have finally managed to pretty much get over my cold and catch up on sleep a wee bit. Went to see Quantum of Solace tonight with one of my friends who I work with in housing. I really enjoyed it, and was happy with the movie as a whole. Some people might be nitpicky and say that it didn't "feel" like a real Bond movie, but all in all, I feel it was solid. My disappointment comes in various forms this evening. More than anything, I'm disappointed in one of my residents. He had aspirations of becoming an RA, he really wanted to be able to do it. He's a nice guy and is more than willing to help me out when I ask him, and has done so on multiple occasions. He is even the VP under Cory on our Hall Council that puts on the various programs around the building. However, even after repeated warnings from me to him about how any sort of drinking in the dorms would lose him his position, I get a txt from Cory about midway through Bond that lets me know that he'd been written up. Cory already found out because the kid had already txted him to let him know. So now, because of a stupid decision, he will not be able to serve on the Hall Council, and he will not be allowed to become an RA. Most of me has become very cold to this sort of thing recently. I know how very stupid people can be as a whole, so I am rarely surprised. But this was one of those times where it kinda bugs me. He had so many aspirations, and he simply washed them away because he couldn't make the right decision. But that is all for my rant. I've been in this position too long to really let this get to me any more than what I just said. In all reality, I'm over it after having written that down. That was his decision after he had been given so many warnings, those are the consequences for his actions. I'm going to carry my ol' bones to bed at this point and try to get some sleep. Got lots of stuff to do tomorrow, so I'm going to have to start at a decent hour. Here's to a new day.
