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!
I can't wait to see your wonderfully decorated hallways next weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love you!
Mom
Wish I could see, too!!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice having a short chat with you tonight....
Papa was disappointed in Brett Favre when the Vikings lost the game!
Love,
Nana
Oh, poor Brett Favre -- he has the weight of the world on his shoulders, NOT TO MENTION, PAPA'S DISAPPROVAL!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, your duties as RA will be more as a mentor and a facilitator. I wish you no marijuana parties and smelly roommates to deal with! (or worse!)
