What A Wonderful World

I am officially back in Keene! My parents and grandparents helped me move my stuff up to my room, and it was pretty relaxed as I had virtually no unpacking to do. I am in Huntress for this year, but because it isn’t ready, we are temporarily living in Fiske. I really hate living out of a suitcase, which is basically what I will have to do until next Friday. As far as RA training goes, it seems like it is going to be alot less stressful that last years. For one, breakfast isn’t mandatory, which means I can sleep in! We get a later start to our day, instead of beginning at 8 everyday, we start at around 10:30. Plus, we have area time in the morning, and the night is ours to do as we please. It also seems very organized in terms of substance as well, as each day we focus on a different aspect of our job description. I also am reporting some changes, although they have not been officially confirmed, I have read the RA handbook and these things have been mentioned. For one, we will no longer be using radios, we get cell phones! Also, we can stay in our room during duty time, but we still have to be available and be doing rounds. Lastly, our duty starts at 8 pm! This makes me very happy! There isn’t much to report for the first day of RA training, just that we received smores and a personalized tote as part of our welcoming back package. Really cool.
