It Has Begun

I know it has been a while. The craziness has ensued. To try and make up for it I have some pictures to share.

Havighurst Hall. 300 Residents. 11 RAs. My home for the next year.

 

This was our opening check-in station. Miami has moved to electronic cards that are very similar to Sonoma's. One difference is that with Miami's system if a resident locks themsleves out they can text a number and a satellite will unlock their room automatically. Needless to say Miami is very fancy. It has been very different living in a traditional hall but I am liking it so far.

Jess, Delaney, Andrew, and Trish. Some of the RAs at check-in.

These are the two RAs I directly supervise. Robin who is a Senior and wants to be a teacher (she is looking into Teach for America) and Ray is a 2nd year and starting to get more involved and declare his major.

After move in we had an All-Hall meeting. These are some residents that live in the hall.

For a little fun and to get out of the "ox box" I got to go to a Reds v Cubs game. A family had extra tickets so for $5 I got to sit in the field section on the third base line.

I went to the game with two of my favs Zak and Ashleigh. Zak is HUGE cubbies fan.

This weekend was Community Council Training. This is Andrew and Kyle, the two RAs that help me advise.

It is a tradition that every year someone wins a jar of pickles ( no one seems to know why) and this year Andrew won.

Havighurst Community Council. Our theme was "90s Cosby Sweaters" and we won best dressed. Great day overall with great people.

 Classes are going amazing as well. I have definitley "drank the koolaid" and I am really enjoying Foundations of Students Affairs and Theory. Just finished with Kegan and a little Marsha Baxter-Magolda (of course). My life is consumed with work and reading but I really can't complain other than not having the time to keep in touch but know I am always thinking of you all and miss you so much!!!
