I am an R.A. in....

Assisi Hall next year! I don't know what floor I am going to be living on yet, but at RA training on Sunday they told us what building we'd be living in. So if any of you freshmen know that you will be living in Assisi in the fall, I might be your RA. I'm really excited about having this job. It's a lot of work, but I think that it will be rewarding too. I'm really excited to make door decs and bulletin boards for my residents. My friend at UNH is also going to be an RA so we'll probably be talking and collaborating quite a bit throughout the next year.

On Thursday at 12 a.m. I will be registering for my fall classes. I'm a little nervous about it because some of the classes I want to get into may already be full. I made myself a mock schedule with the classes that I want, and I made it so that I have Mondays and Wednesdays off. Now I'm rethinking that because I have Tuesdays off now and I feel very unproductive on those days usually. I don't think I want to feel unproductive two days out of the week. I also want to minor in Psychology, so I have to take into account that I'll have to add a class or two to my schedules starting very soon. I think it will be better to get those classes out of the way now while my schedule is still pretty light. I have to take Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology, Human Traditions (English or History), Intro to OT (which I am very excited for), Social/Cultural Context of Human Development, and Abnormal Psychology (which I am also very excited for).

I can't believe there are only three and a half more weeks left of my freshman year. It went by so qiuckly, but I am really excited for the summer because I have a lot planned. I will be working at my old job at the rehab, but I'm also planning on travelling back out to Oregon to visit Nawwal again. My host-sister from Germany is coming to stay with me for two weeks at the end of July into August and we're going to my cottage on Prince Edward Island. And at the end of August I will be moving back to school a week and a half or so earlier than everyone else to get the dorms ready and for some more training.

Hope to see many of you in the fall!
