gettin' back
in addition to having a fabulous time with my job, i've found that working on campus has opened the door to a number of opportunities for me to participate as a seasoned alumna; doors that are probably not cracked for the typical volunteer. yesterday i pitched in for warren residential life training, putting the new RAs though their paces in an exercise where they have to face extreme circumstances they might encounter while on duty. i was on "the party scene", and had a great time stumbling around an apartment, yelling at people, laughing at nothing, hiding in closets, looking bleary-eyed and telling people my name was azzi teck (my character was from another university). apparently, as was reported later, the poor newbie RAs thought my tap-water beverage of choice really was spiked. tomorrow night, i face them again, along with 750 new freshmen and their parents, plus the rest of warren's administration, as i was asked to emcee the opening night of orientation for new students. i'm excited to welcome the new kids, and get them as enthusiastic about their new home as i am... but i'll be laying off the tap water, just to be safe.
current mood: i bleed blue and gold
