This weekend was so much fun and I didn’t even see it coming! It all started with friday, we had our very first o-staff meeting with the new group! This is going to be a great summer, I can already tell! The group has so much energy and is just such a fun bunch. It’s going to make this semester go by even slower, just knowing that the summer has so much fun to come! yayy!!! Saturday was our MMT (Magical Mystery Tour). The Holloway/Butler RA staff goes on an MMT every Spring semester for staff retreat. The day a a complete surprise and the RD and CA’s plan everything in advance. The only thing we were told was that we had to meet in Kim (my RD’s) apartment at 7:15 am with everything that we had on a list she passed out. The list was full of the most random things such as, spatulas, top hats, mustaches, ring dings, blue eye shadow etc. Our first activity was breakfast. A chef came in to Butler and taught us how to make a breakfast for champions. We made stuffed french toast and omelets… and even flipped them in the air! It was sooo cool! Once we were all completely stuffed, Kim introduced us to Rich, a latin dance instuctor. He taught us how to do the Cha Cha! Then Kim announced that we would be participating in the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. I was upset prior to this weekend because I wanted to participate in this with MVP (Mentors in Violence Prevention) but we were scheduled to have MMT. So having it be a part of our day was super! The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a walk that spreads awareness about violence against women. Men are suppose to show up, sporting their best women’s shoes and walking a mile down Main St. The boys on our staff had the cutest pumps and the women walked with them, supporting them with huge signs and confetti poppers. Our group raised over $1,100. This was the 2nd year they did this event and it was a huge success. After the walk, we got in the cars and drove to an unknown destination. We stopped at Panera in Worchester and ate in the cars because we were running late for something. After a long drive, we found ourselves in Providence RI. We were going to see The Producers on broadway!!!! (thats what the tophats were for!) It was AMAZING!!! I have alllwaaayyysss wanted to see this show so I couldn’t believe that was the next part of our adventure. After the show we got back into the car and headed back to Worchester. We kind of got a little lost so we couldn’t even guess what we would be doing. Finally we were outside this big arena. We had tickets to see the Sharks vs Devils Hockey game. Okay, so im not into Hockey, but that was the most fun I have had in a long time!!!! We all had big foam #1 hands and totally got into the game. I ate so much cotton candy that my teeth started to hurt. As much fun as the day was, I was happy to find that was the last activity of the day because I was exhausted! We got back around 11:45pm and I literally passed out the second I got back to my room.

Today I went shopping for my interview that is coming up on friday. I got a few nice suits to wear just incase another opportunity comes to wear them. After that was the Leadership Awards Banquet. This banquet is really great opportunity to recognize student leaders on campus. It’s fun to watch your peers receive awards because you know who they are and what they do, but when someone is up there, reading a letter about their efforts and committments, you realize that you really don’t know how much people around you are doing and it’s fun to learn so much about them. This year I was one of the (I think) 20 seniors who were presented with the Senior Service Award. The food there was sooo good and the dessert.. lets just say they had chocolate covered cherries! mmmm

Okay, well I am on duty right now and trying to finish up some homework… 3 more weeeeeeks of classes!!! :-O Nighty night
