Ready for an Update!

It's time for an update. TONS has happened since August!! September was full of busy RA stuff and getting to know all my new residents. Oh freshman is all I can say. Name tags were fun to make. Sea creatures! Making a clipboard for a fellow RA was exciting(although it looked like it was made for a 6 year old). But my favorite part so far has been making bulletin boards each month!! My themes have been contact information around campus, Safebook Facebook, and How to Say Thank You in different languages.
Fun things that have happened...

• visited Boston and fell in love with it.

• visited Hawaii to see my brother in my World Championship Ironman.

• went home for Thanksgiving break (first time home since July!!)

• rocked finals week

• spent an amazing winter break with family and friends.

Downfall in the semester was getting the flu (oink oink) and missing an entire week of school! SO STRESSFUL!!

Travel home only gave me a one day delay.. at least it was IN Montana this time.

RA Training

Today was another day of RA training. It started Monday morning with a retreat to Jacksonville, Vermont. Middle of nowhere. It was fun, but draining constantly being around people you barely know. We returned on Thursday and had the afternoon off! Thank goodness. But then today was at 12.5 hour day! UGH! Now that the day is over there are lists of things to do. Room checklist forms, letters to self, clipboard for a fellow RA, bulletin board, and name tags. All due before Monday or Wednesday, depending on the task. It's overwhelming, but exciting. I just HOPE that I'm an awesome RA and that my residents respect me. I have a hall FULL of girls, so we will find out quickly how much I can handle! But I'm up for the challenge.

P.S. Emailed my Physics teacher. . . A+ in Physics! YAY!

4 & 1/2 Hour Final

Thursday marked the last day of Physics 245 Summer Session at Albany College of Pharmacy. Let me say, I couldn't be happier. Although, I enjoyed the class and even had an AMAZING teacher. Lucky lucky me! The first three exams went very well, so we'll hope the final went just as wonderfully! After 6 hard weeks of studying (and millions of practice problems), it was time to celebrate. I devoured a delicious Indian dinner at a restaurant called Sitar, and ate delectable gelato from Villa Italia! YUM! Then out for the night with all my wonderful friends! Awesome way to end summer session.

Test scores: 96, 100, 93!

First Time.

So, here it goes. What does one say in a blog? My best friend, Jenn, convinced that this would be a good idea, and she rarely gives me bad ideas. Therefore I thought I'd give it a try. This might take me some getting used to, so bare with me. :)
