Alacrity
Russia avoided any suggestion that it would react to the results with the same alacrity seen after the Crimean Peninsula referendum in March.-- MacFarquhar, N. " Russia Stops Short of Recognizing East Ukraine Secession Vote," New York Times. May 12, 2014.
Defined: (Merriam-Webster) A promptness, a quick readiness to act.
My take:
Students buzzed with
excitement as heat signaled summer parties, yet alacrity rose among
those heading to new cities for internships.
