The Future is NOW?!?!?

Top of the morning,

Today brings me to contemplate my future. What is in it? This past weekend MACURH 2008 brought 500+ residents, guests, and special guests to the quaint town of Rolla, MO. Now, this is something that has been in the works for nearly two years and it is both the first conference I've helped run and arguably the last I'll attend as an undergrad. The emotions of this past weekend left me drained, excited, sad, and contemplative.

I was given a lot of recognition, some deserved. And I was able to meet with some of my collegue-acquaintences. This, with me on the cusp of grad school and continued involvement in college student personnel, helped put things in perspective. What's in my future? Will I interact with those I've met in my years?

This morning I was sent an e-mail from a university in Missouri because they're interested in interviewing with me at OPE. But, I don't fit what they're looking for. Will I find my fit?

Apologies for the flow, or lack there of.

Tuesday (Foggy, Foggy Dew)

Top of the morning to ya,

"How's your day?" "What's going on?" "Did you do well on your test?" "Can I get my key?"

These are a section of questions I've been asked so far as the residents mosey past the desk on the way to class. It's almost surreal. After 5 years of the same school I'm looking at these residents and projecting who they'll be in the years to come. A lawyer? An accepting homosexual? A barkeep at the local pub? It's quite interesting.

BLARGH!!!

Good morning, hope the day greets most well. I'm sitting at my desk with "New Guy" playing on the tele. There's not much profound news I can share at the moment.

Grad. School

Oh the joys of college searching. Tests, deadlines, geography...oh MY.

Currently I'm applying to Bowling Green State University. More to come

Time to Breathe

Ahoy, it feels good to be done. As mentioned before I've been pretty stressed out with things to do. Here's a run-down of things I've done:

TJHA -
Three E-Board meetings and Committee List-serv updates

DLP -
Two 2-hour meetings, RUSH, and extension of bids (4 in total)

RHA -
4 completed programs (ABC's of Res. Life, Pimp Your Room, TJHA Presents: "The Looney Goonie Swim-In Movie"

MACURH -
Staff and Director meeting. Contacting Perfect 10 Improv

NRHH -
Organization meeting

Academics -
Request to take credits, addition of a course, attended every class thus far, note-taking

Work -
6 hours at the front desk

It's been fun...but now things are wrapping up. RUSH is over, I've only one more Fall Fest program left to do, have some homework to take care of and most definitely need some time with Donnell.

Oh...and might have a funeral to attend come this Thursday. Two cousins passed Friday; the Father killed the mother and then killed himself. Their daughter found her parents and called the police.

In the Midst

Good day to you. These past few weeks I've been busy trying to catch up with the "wipper-snappers". While I may be all of 22 years of age I feel somewhat an outsider. My room mate is the Public Relations Officer for RHA and is a sophomore. He and I've had many a conversation about age, mentality, and personality.

School's up and running. Today is the third day of many more to come. So far things university-wise are on track and I've A's in all of my classes. Score for me. I've class at 11:00 and a pretty big Fall Fest program coming up tonight. Also, this is the second week of DLP Rush. Fun times.

Pre-Training Day 1

Greetings. Training for Res. Life begins today. The sun is shining and my room is full. Wonder what the day'll bring. Stay tuned for more.
