Plans for Fall '06
Hello all! I hope all is well with you as you are reading this blog. I am thrilled as I found out I am a Residential Assistant, and I will be working in Ballard North this coming fall. For those of you who do not know what a "RA" is, a RA is one who works with other Residential staff members to develop and maintain an atmospohere that promotes residential communities through exellence in academics, integration, and personal development opportunities for students. Each RA will follow, administer, and enforce policies and procedures as outlined in the Manual. *thanks to Campus Life for the job description.* There are two wings on each floor of every dorm, meaning there are two RA's on each floor, one per wing. The role of a RA, according to Campus Life, encompasses programming, administrative, and staff responsibilities, and such, requires flexibility from the individual in this position, as well as to serve a resource to both residents and staff, while upholding the goals and policies of Campus Life.
Alright, enough technical terms about the job description for a RA. I'm just so excited to have the opportunity to work with other RA's and CRE's. I know it is not an easy job, but I look forward to the challenge, and I will meet that challenge.

Spring Break, or it was supposed to be.
This year's spring break wasn't as exciting or fun as I thought it would be. I expected it to be full of thrills, and it was the complete opposite. I was supposed to go home to Ohio to spend some quality time with family, friends, and my girlfriend, and I did just that. However, something happened that crushed my spirits. Well, three things happened...

High School Academic Bowl
Hello blog readers!
I thought I'd write one last blog before I leave to Michigan tomorrow morning. I am attending the Midwest Academic Bowl at Lahser High School in Michigan as a student representative and volunteer. I will be working as a scorekeeper or a powerpoint operator. Volunteering for this will give me the opportunity to complete the required eighty hours of community service in order to graduate. I am thrilled to attending, as I like to see competition and I may see several students from the past when I participated in 2004. I will be back Sunday afternoon, and I will post pictures of the Academic Bowl and explain how successful it was. I hope you all have a great week/weekend, and don't work too hard!
I am going to steal Tyler DeShaw's salutation and say con amistad!
Con Amistad,
Greg
P.S. Check out the website for the Academic Bowl at academicbowl.gallaudet.edu! :)
