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.
Another thing about the fall of '06 is that I will be carrying another heavy course load yet again. This semester I have nineteen credits and six classes. Next semester, I will also have nineteen credits, but this time with seven classes, not including one credit for the RA class I am required to attend. Altogether, I will have twenty credits, a heavy course load, a job (actually two, if you include being a GBLOGger, which I don't because I write for entertainment), and that all sums up to a busy semester. I am excited to come back in the Fall, and I hope to acheive all my goals, which include getting a good GPA, handling the heavy course load, and the only way I can acheive my goals is to have good time management.
Well, I'm off to hit the books, as I have two important tests tomorrow! Have a great weekend, and don't forget to change your clocks on Sunday, April 2nd!
