17 minutes till the Duty Night is done - we shouldn't call it "DUTY" because it has always been nothing but fun time hanging out with my staff members. My residents visit often, either with home cooked food or with pranks. It will be another sleepless night, another emotionally drained journey - but I am already ready for this battle. So, bring it on!
Though I'm severely disappointed, the snow falls beautifully. Like Krista always says: the snow is falling just for you, Linh. My dear, I am scared and it's so cold outside. People never fail to disappoint - with or without cruel intentions. We both know I will pull through this, once again, but it kills me inside. My dear, as darkness envelopes me, I am unable to see you through the sky. My love, how have you been?

Saturday afternoon, while sprawling on the floor, trying desperately to finish one pile of homework after another, I heard the guitar playing and beautiful voice singing (not really sometimes ;), I heard small quiet chats and laughter on the other side of the wall, in the lobby. I feel a sense of happiness. This rough road is worth travelling, I believe. One more resident who decides to stick around in the weekend, hang around with his floor-mates, doing homework - OR composing a song with this community means one resident less who would go out and made poor decision. I have seen growth and I have seen tears, I have seen hugs of reunion and fights - which only draw them closer to one another.
I guess, I am here to stay. Yesterday Vegetarian dinner cooked by Maddie and Meg was beautifully well done :) You guys are on a mission to compose a song, create a video clip with one another. Thank you for caring about one another. Thank you for all that you've done to your peers and to me as your RA. It's time I get my head back to "the game" and finish my lesson plans for students. This is home.
