well well well.....
All 9 orientation sessions are over, finished, done, foreverr =[.... I thought I would be extremely happy for this day, but honestly I am not in the least bit. I've been at Drexel doing orientation things since June 25th. I cannot believe how fast a month and a half went by. It's kind of scary. My birthday is in less than week, I move into my apartment in about a month, and i start school in a month and a half. Carmen Andrew is 3 months old, and my sister is going away to Stockon. The summer has never flown by this quick before in my life. I don't remember the last time I laughed so much then I do with my co-workers. I have made some amazing friends and I am going to miss them so much. The future is really creeping up and scaring me.
I'm still not over the whole RA thing, and that really makes me mad. However ,this summer has given me an understanding about it. I am finally getting my head back on my shoulders. When Subir told me that i wanted to be an RA for the wrong reasons and that I was immature, I did not get it! I knew that I wanted to be an RA for the right reasons! However, I now see that "the right reasons", were only right reasons to benefit myself. I wanted to stay a part of the campus, and having to pay for housing to do that, would not have been feasible. I did not want to live at home, and that was my only other option. If I had to live at home, I would have a really hard time staying involved in clubs and sports and things like that. So being an RA would make allow me to stay involved. And lastly, being an RA would allow me to be around A LOT of people at all times. I would always have people to hang out with and I would easily have fun. I now see that being an orientation leader, has made me want to be an RA even more, but now i want to because I love working with freshman. Maybe I was immature, I guess a year away from campus will allow me to grow and see if the RA job is really for me or not!
I have more to write, but i'm lateee so ill edit this later
