Daunting why?

[jade-larson]

You don’t agree?

ooc re: room inspections

Unfortunately I don’t have time to produce a daily/timed list of inspections like last time, and chase up accordingly. Instead, could people just send me a cleanliness score/10 and any damage/anything else that Jade would find (drugs/ modifications not removed etc). Assume that the timing of the room inspection wouldn’t be announced beforehand and could happen at any time in the next few weeks. 

I’ll check people off the list as I get things through, and post something over the weekend for those who haven’t sent me anything. Any questions, just let me know :)

Eh, well I didn’t really mean it like that. Of course there will be new people. I just mean that I’ll miss some of the seniors.

[jade-larson]

That’s not what you said originally, but that is understandable. I am sure that you will cope though.

[dom-emmanuel]

Now it feels all too real. Can’t believe the end is so soon.

[jade-larson]

It’s daunting, I know.

[spencerjuly]

Hm, it’s getting close isn’t it? It’ll feel very empty next year.

[jade-larson]

I understand your concern Mr July, but I’m sure you’ll find that just as many will arrive next year.

[jade-larson]

Attention Students

I would like to remind all seniors that your rooms must be returned to the state that it was when you arrived. This includes any modifications you may have gained permission for. I will begin room inspections for all students on the 8th June, so please ensure that they are in the correct state by then.

I’m sure I could handle lavender-scented nap time afterwards.

…Did you enjoy the week?

[jade-larson]

The perfect lazy Sunday.

I did, very much. Did you?

[jade-larson]

[blooming-technique-blog]

Good.

Plus then there is always the matter of rinsing off afterwards in the shower…

[jade-larson]

True, although I’m not sure I’ll want to move for a while afterwards.

Offering, of course.

[jade-larson]

I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning.

Are these you offering to give me a massage, or your way of asking for one?

Leo's kind of autism is not subtle. It's intense. He's not much for speaking, or reacting to questions in expected ways -- though he usually does hear what's said, and respond in his own way. Sometimes his autism means exuberant whooping and galloping in great big circles with no concern for social propriety. Many people assume Leo wouldn't have much in common with Zoe, an autistic college student -- probably because Zoe can speak in a more typical manner than Leo. That doesn't mean she's not autistic -- it means others don't always perceive the effort she puts into communicating and getting through her day.

I hope everyone is doing well.

[jade-larson]

Likewise, Doctor. Do I take it that means the infirmary has been slightly quieter than normal?

Hopefully you won’t get sick of me.

Miss, is this– This isn’t your quiet way of suggesting in the future we might have to spend less together, is it? Because of career change or anything like that?

[jade-larson]

I’d say it was the exact opposite. Some change is good.

A week? 

Sure. I mean, yes. Of course. I’d need to go back to my own place tonight or in the morning though. Just to get some things together.

[jade-larson]

Of course. And you don’t have to spend all your time here. Just you know... when you want to.
