Training Complete

Hmmm so i do realize that in my last post I said I would be blogging more ... but the last week didn't really leave me much time. RA training lasted since last Wednesday and every day after official training i had to work on my door decorations and bulletin boards for my residents. It went from like 9 until 8 or later every night so it was a busy week. But that ended today so I have time to take a breather, so here it goes ..... whew.

Training was fun and I learned a lot. None of the stuff I learned really surprised me but now that it's all done it seems that being an RA really entails a lot more than I thought. I'm responsible for a lot more things than I ever picked up on when i was a resident myself. So as it turns out this year will be even busier and ass kicky than I thought. Oh well, I'll survive like I always do. Even though hat seems to mean by the skin of my finger tips ...

On another note, or rather the same one, move in is this weekend. A lot of freshman will be pouring in and hopefully some of my upperclassmen friends as well. There will also be the final orientation session and my friends that are orientation leaders. I'm really excited to see a lot of them and I think some of the meetings will be ... interesting ... but I'll deal with that when it happens. I'm pretty excited for move in though. As busy as I am going to be it is going to be a lot of fun meeting all the residents and helping everyone out. And as another perk of the job, I seem to be becoming good friends with the police officers in the area as well as the custodial staff and a lot of other people who impact this campus a lot more than you realize. And now I'm on a first name basis with a lot of them, it's quite fun. I am a very sociable person and this aspect of the job will be quite fun for me. Meeting and befriending the staff and other RA's all within the first time or so meeting them. I am already good friends with people I met two days ago, and knowing me I'm not going to let them become acquaintances. When you befriend me you're stuck with me. So I think I will leave this year with a lot of new friends, my age and older.

So that's all in the life of me, expect a few more frequent posts, mainly me getting back into the groove of blogging, and then consistent updates. Hopefully people are still reading this, despite the little month long drop off. There are some people I know read this and others that I hope do, and I'm hoping every last one of them reads it. Because despite the relationship, I really do enjoy sharing who i am and I hope you enjoy reading about me.

Until next time, Shadow out :-D
