Today I was making panckakes in the lobby of my dorm. There were tons of people there, some watching tv, others studying, many just socializing with books open in front of them. as I was cooking i would either offer or people would ask for a pancake. I was glad to share with them (mixing water in to panckake mix and pouring it onto a hot skillet is not rocket science). One girl had not gotten over to dinner and was not sure what she was going to have for dinner so peanut butter pancakes were a huge blessing for her. as I was cleaning up a feeling over came me. It feels like thanks giving.
I remembered my aunt washing dishes as some of the family talked around the table, the kids played, and others zoned out on a football game. That feeling of calm comotion. When everyone is glad to be lazy and social and together. That was the feeling in the lobby. Thats always kind of the feeling. Theres always people, not usually being productive and something about college studying is similar to the feeling you get when you eat a lot of turkey... you just want to sleep.
Though I doubt that text books transmit triptophayne into my system, and the people in my dorm are not my family it sure does feel like thanks giving in Gerig Hall.
