Here ya go
Ok, lj...haven't posted in a while
Summer conferences is over. It feels sorta weird saying that considering how big that was for so long this summer. I'm going to miss certain aspects of the job and there are things I'm really happy I never have to deal with again. I'm not going to go into details so suck on that I guess (wow, you can tell being in Iowa has given me a pissy attitude)
This past weekend I moved out of Mudd 10. There were some fantastic memories. Looking at it when I had moved almost everything out...it sort of hit me. Things weren't going to be the same. All of the carefree socialization will be gone. Hell, I'll be lucky if I get to see any of the Summer Conference Staff during the year. A lot of them are living in the Village or off-campus and secondly, I'm going to be extremely busy this year so I can't budget a lot of time hanging with friends. After my time here in Iowa, sophomore year officially starts. A fourth of my time at WashU has ended and I know already how sad it is going to be for me to graduate. Also, a lot of my good friends are older than me, so I'll have to watch them leave me behind in the next two years. I'll just have to do my best to enjoy the time I have left while juggling school stuff.
On a happier note, this past weekend was excellent. I went on a float trip Sunday with Scott and the Summer Scholars. It was a lot of fun, especially with the obnoxious singing (Proud Mary stands out). Then we watched some Alias, including Phase One which is one of my favorite Alias episodes. The next day I went to RA camp with CS40. What an outstanding bunch of individuals...I'm really excited about working with them this school year. We had a lot of bonding time in our cabin and doing fun teambuilding activities together (such as Traffic Jam and this rope knot game thingey). Then at night, Ben Dao and I went to the main lodge and played Mafia with the RAs and RCDs. I've played that game before, but it was so much more fun with the RAs. I pray with every fiber of my being that I'll get to be a freshman RA some day...sigh
Then I returned to St. Louis for a final day and now I'm in Iowa. I come back to Stl on the 26th for Club 40 and more CS40/Peer Advising stuff. Much love to my crew back in the Lou.
Ok, I guess that entry wasn't as long as I wanted it to be. I'm tired and kinda sad from that whole first paragraph business among other things.
"Listen to your heart, when he's calling for you. Listen to your heart, there's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going and I don't know why, but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye." Too bad, huh? I'm an optimist though...eternally
