Lotion, Technology, and Life

Greetings!

It's Homecoming Week!!!! It's actually been such a calm week compared to my undergrad's Homecoming. So that's been super nice. I have enjoyed not having to work 60 hours in one week, so kudos to a calm Homecoming! We had a door decorating contest yesterday. We got third. :( The Foundation and President's Office got first. Sounds fishy to me! :D

I've been trying this new lotion through BzzAgent. I got it free and it's been doing wonders on my dry skin. It's the Curel Intensive Healing Cream and it's pretty awesome!!!!!! It's taken my hands and legs (both of which look like they have never had lotion on them before) and turned them into moisturized members of society! I am a huge fan of this lotion!

Technology has been awful on campus. In the residence halls, we lose power for one second at least once a day. It is ridiculous. Our wifi on campus is awful too. It hardly works, which makes my life very difficult. Our network has been down too, which makes doing my job so hard.

Hoping the tech gets fixed.

The Stairs of Doom

First, update on my life: I haven't had any luck finding out what's wrong with me. I have been passed around between doctors, but hopefully I find out soon. Also, I got another job, which is actually kind of cool. I now work at Maurices, too. It is an awesome job! I'm in love with it so far.

Now Higher Ed stuff. So, I fell down the stairs today in the university center. I screamed as I stumbled down a few steps. I limped back to my office, defeated, cookies wet with the water I spilled on them. It was a really great moment. But now I feel like I got the whole walking down stairs thing down!!!

I have had a blast recently at my job. We're getting busy, which is great! I have been doing more and more with fraternity & sorority life! They are so awesome! I'm really trying to work on their image on campus and I think that more students on campus will begin to realize how incredible greeks are.

Also, RHA is doing amazing things. The Exec Board is full of excitement and really getting things done. It is nice to see a group of people get along and want to better their campus. I'm just pumped about all the amazing opportunities that I have had so far.

ALSO ALSO ALSO, I am totally getting involved in their Alternative Spring Break. It is a small program, but they will be going to Nicaragua this year, so I am kind of freaking out. YES!

My First Day on the Job

So I just finished my first day as the Greek Life & Leadership Coordinator. Woo. I am tiiiiiired.
I met so many people today! I can already tell that remembering names is going to be my downfall, so I'm going to have to work harder on that. The woman whose desk is next to mine is in the cohort ahead of me in the SAHE program, so it'll be nice to be able to ask her questions and get her help. People seem so nice, so yay! I like nice people!

I began my day at 8:30 and set up my desk. I made sure that I put my bright pink nameplate on my desk, you know, to spruce it up. I put all my stuff in a drawer, cleaned my desk, and sat down. I did a lot of that today. Just trying to get my barrings. I got a lot of old Greek Life documents, which was cool. I was able to read a Phoenix Magazine (My sorority's magazine) from 2003. It was really neat to see my chapter mentioned in there.

I met with the Interim Director of Res. Life and he gave me a few assignments. RHA sounds like they are going to grow a lot in the next few years, so I am so excited to help and watch them grow! I also get to help completely redo RA training, so what?! Pumped!

My day begins tomorrow at 8am, so I'm going to have to get used to that.

Now onto the most important part of any day, what you wear! I work my mint sweater (which was funny because the woman I worked with was also wearing one too! Twinsies!) a black pencil skirt, and nude tights. It was a simple outfit, so I think I'll have to spruce up my wardrobe when I get some moolah.
