When (Custodian) Dave Burden comes to clean my bathroom, I always feel bad for making an excuse to leave. It's just too weird to have someone in my bathroom.
Today I escaped to (Resident Director) Dave Akana's office and he sent me on a "top secret mission" to Copy Services for him. Boy, did I feel special!
I really like my boss, Dave. He has been helping me a lot ever since I told him I was interested in a career in ResLife/Student Affairs. He's printed me off a bunch of information and said if I ever wanted to do additional training, get extra experience, etc., he would totally help me set that up.
I worry that next year he won’t be my boss and I won’t be back in Edens-Higginson. Since I’ve lived in Higginson for two years, it is unlikely I will be placed here again to be a Resident Advisor. It’s like home to me now, though. Wherever I am placed, I will be heartbroken, but I’ll adjust and try to make it my new home. After talking to some people, I think I would like Buchanan Towers. Aly is aiming for Birnam Wood, which is far, far away from North Campus, and if I was in BT, I would be close enough to her to see her. Plus, having my own kitchen, bathroom and living room would be awesome! But I would like to eventually go to BT and look around because I haven’t really seen the rooms at all.
I also wouldn’t mind Fairhaven because I might take some classes there. Misty and Kelly said they think my personality would fit in well there. I requested that I not be placed on anywhere on the Ridge, which means that’s probably where I’ll end up, knowing the weird sense of humor ResLife staff have.
I think about this all way too much. I have to make new bulletin boards today, which is a pain. I should go to math, since it's my only class of the day, but I probably won't. I think I might go off-campus tonight...
With love and squalor,
Britt
p.s. I've been listening to the Beatles a lot lately and not much else. I think soon I will need to diversify.
