RA training week.

Well, here I am, sitting in my room in Murray, writing as an OFFICIAL resident assistant! :) this past week has been training... a lot of boring speakers, but then also some exciting adrenaline pumping role playing exercises. I've had to break up a drinking party, warn people about quiet hours then witness a whole on fist fight, bust a marijuana party, deal with fighting roommates and angry parents, and watch other ras deal with rape, unconscious people, smelly roommates, and boyfriends with baseball bats. thankfully, all this is just for training and hasn't really happened. yet. :P

so needless to say, it's been an interesting week. most of my wing is decorated, i just have to hang up a few more things. most of my residents will probably be moving in later today or tomorrow... some on sunday. so you can be praying for me to get to know all the girls and have courage and wisdom when dealing with situations or just the daily awkward stuff. well, i'm off to go be productive! adios!

MIA... not anymore!

i've been off the blogging track for a little while now... life must be busy! or really NOT busy! :) you take your pick.

the last couple weeks i've helped my friend, Lindsay, find her wedding dress, ordered my bridesmaid dress, cleaned out my entire room, watched season 5 of "lost" (that was just in the last 3 days), read multiple books, started making some stuff for RAing this semester, finished an old journal and started a new one, watched countless movies, and played innumerable hours of card and board games with the fam.

so. its just been life. which is why i havent had much to say! you can click here to see the bridesmaid dress i'll be walking down the aisle in come june 26th. it will be in the "horizon" color... a vibrant blue. in other words, very pretty! so thats been exciting with all the wedding stuff. today i have a meeting with the other bridesmaids to plan the parties so that should be fun, but we're all teenagers who haven't really been to many weddings so it should also be interesting. :)

well, that's about all for now. i go back to school the 18th and start training the 19th. so i'm just going to enjoy these last couple days at home!
