Don't be Stupid!

This is for all my future Elmhurst comers: Don’t Be Stupid!  Please.  Thank you.

About half of the people in this program have been out every night, until all hours of the night, getting their fill of the legal pub hopping and drinking that is denied them at their age in the States.  Fine.  It is to be expected that you will flex your wings a bit when you’re so far off the nest I suppose.

Well last night it was not fine.  There are rules that exist for the protection of everyone and when you become too intoxicated to follow them that is being extremely stupid.  I was up until 3:30 am last night with a fiasco of people coming in drunk without their keys wanting to bring a guy into the building who had no business being there, a girl who came back drawn upon all over her visible body to stumble off to bed, and a girl who we thought was missing for the better part of an hour and a half before she was discovered in another person’s bedroom, having come back earlier without anyone noticing or notifying. 

This kind of behavior is unacceptable (which, those of you who know me well are already assuming I pointed out, and I did) and now we all have a compulsory meeting in the evening to review the rules and regulations.  Hopefully that will help.  I know I certainly did not come here to be a babysitter, and neither did anyone else.  When you behave in that way you are being incredibly selfish as well as dangerous and stupid – so just don’t do it.  Have a good time, but have a sensible good time; how much fun can you say you were having really if you can’t remember it the next day?
