So, Read staff are Champions of the Universe. Not merely Champions of Bloomington, or Indiana, or all of planet Earth, or the Milky Way. We are champions of the entire, infinite UNIVERSE, and we have the plaque to prove it. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Our week of formal training has concluded, and I'm surprised how quickly it went by. Although each day seemed to entail several millennia in and of themselves, it's difficult to realize training is over, and Welcome Week is beginning. I feel like I've been here in Read forever, but I also feel like I've only been here for a week and a half (which I have). I am simultaneously ecstatic for and dreading this week. Marching Hundred band camp starts for vets tonight, and while I am so ready to get some Hundred back in my life, it's going to be extremely difficult for me to balance band camp with my job here at Read. I'm expected to be at both places all day, so I'll be doing a lot of bouncing back and forth. Thankfully, the Residence Manager and GSs here are extremely kind and cooperative, and are willing to let me do the necessary bouncing. They have been so understanding and wonderful to me throughout training and with helping me manage my schedule as best I can. My fellow RAs have been equally amazing. Just today, two of them offered to help shepherd my floor to events if I ever feel too overwhelmed to handle it alone.
I am also handling a personal concern over Hundred, one which I'm nervous enough about to have felt nauseated all day, but I have a beautiful support system, and as my mother kindly reminded me, if God leads me to it, He will also lead me through it. As I tend to say, it will all work out.
So, bearing in mind I have the power that created the universe backing me up, bring it on, Welcome Week 2011.
