The tall man eats very little and is able to stand in one place for long periods of time. If it weren't for one thing, I'd mistake him for a ghost.

His coffee habit is a dead giveaway that he 's human.

Since I was never an adult, I can never understand why people like coffee. The tall man requires at least two cups when he wakes up, and then four more cups in the afternoon while he works at his computer. The whole apartment, which used to stink of damp radiator leakage, now smells of burnt beans. I much preferred the leakage.

Coffee and wine: the two "adult" beverages. One evening, I watched the tall man drink wine with his lady friend. The bottle had a twist off cap, and they didn't even finish it before they started acting weird. She chuckled eagerly, and her cheeks flushed pink, as if she was embarrassed. I could see in his vacant eyes and the way his brows lifted slightly and crunched together that his mind was elsewhere. She went to sleep early, but he stayed up, looking at the ceiling with his brows still crunching.

I realized he had trouble sleeping before I started flickering the red light. I watched him all night. I wondered if he had a dark secret. Perhaps he was a murderer on the run. That would explain his single suitcase and lack of belongings. It would explain his obsessive attention to details on the computer. It would explain why he didn't have many friends. It would explain why he didn't like the lady very much.

Was he going to kill her???!

In the morning, despite having slept very little, the man got up to make coffee. He was very pale and had bags under his eyes. He shook himself off in the kitchen, doing a strange sort of dance. Color returned to his face when he took the first sip.

Getting to come to campus has been really wonderful for me to create a true routine for myself.  I really need that, and being at home all summer up to my own devices, I had no routine.  So, getting here, seeing people in real life has been a true gift to my mental health and well being since I thrive from social interaction.

I noticed that there is a break down in communication from admin to enrichment team.  In my experience we we are getting different information from 3 different sources and it makes it difficult for me to do my job.  I feel the tasks and lay out/procedures for student engagement are scattered and disconnected among the enrichment team. I feel being told, "Be prepared for everything." is really overwhelming. The disconnect in communication to our the individuals in my PLC is frustrating.  We have all gotten different answers when asked "what is the expectation for pushing out subject based student/family engagements as part of distance learning?"
