Well. I LOVE BEING A RESIDENT ASSISTANT! So far, the rest of the (new) RAs of my residence hall are amazing! I can already tell this is going to be a great year. We're bonding and schmoozing (my new favorite word) like no other. As the training goes on, I'm slowly realizing that this coming semester sleep will be a thing of the past. But having this job as an RA will force me to be more responsible and organized, and I'm super excited for that.
Right now, I'm in a building that has 14 floors. Each floor has an RA (except the 13th--that's the lounge area). The RAs have to come up with door tags for their residents' doors and usually, the door tags (and the whole floor in general) has to have a ongoing theme. Well, guess what my theme is? ...CUPCAKES! Also, at the center of the hall, there's a main bulletin board and we are expected to deck it out in our theme. Ohh how I can't wait to decorate it! In fact, I think I might go start it now. But first, I must say hello to some soccer players that are staying 4 floors above me--hehe. I mean... I must go... help... a fellow RA who is staying on that floor with his bulletin board. Yeah... that's it.
Although the training sessions are all day long, my staff knows how to bring the party:
Actually, it was theme day and we dressed up as a birthday party; I was the cupcake (duh)!

Haha, what a fantastic time and of course, you couldn't be anything else but a cupcake-so sweet and cute!!
ReplyDeleteJudging from these photos, it looks like you'll have some fun memories from the coming year!
ReplyDeleteHah, door tags bring back memories of my month at a residential governor's school last summer. It was an all-guys floor, and every person had a door tag with a picture of a different philosopher on it. All of the 26 philosophers my RA chose were male - except for mine. Apparently they couldn't think of any more guy philosophers and they had to give me Ayn Rand :P.
ReplyDeleteI somehow found it in me to laugh about it :P
Awesome theme!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having a lot of fun. Nobody ever did all that RA stuff in my dorm!
