rain in the realm of fantasy

Issues are slowly culminating on this little hill of ours. It really feels like part of the 'experience' - we're struggling with the implementation of (surprising?) rules, spending time in meetings and heated courtyard discussions instead of studying or sleeping, and through all this controversy of sorts figuring out our ideas, ideals and priorities.
At least, so I like to think.

We've been told about rules that will now be properly enforced, such as the one about not sleeping in other rooms and have been presented with new ones, including the appointment of some sort of 'paternal figure', who will aid us in our 'living' here. Everything is a little dubious and ambiguous as of right now, but discussion (as long as that will truly occur) ought to help all of us (as the 'community' we like to call ourselves) work out something, at least personally.

On a less serious note, I went down for Active English today for the first time this term. I got a group of boys to play games with outside, which was a lot of fun and a welcome relief to be able to imitate animals, race through 'heads, shoulders, knees and toes' and just generally think no further than the next 'educational' game we could play to keep up the energy.
