RA Retreat

I had a fun weekend at Cal-State Maritime in Vallejo for the annual RA Retreat for training. We had a lot of fun bonding and doing all sorts of other retreat stuff. Here are a couple of pictures from the retreat with some of the fun people that I work with:

Above is Shauna and Nikki - both are Area Coordinators. Below are Steve and Mylon. Steve is the Assistant V.P. for Housing and Dining Services and Mylon (my direct supervisor) is the Associate Director for Residential Living.
Below (l-r): Matt, Cassie, Jeremy, Aaron, Heidi (me), Alicia, Luke, Josh, and Jason. Jeremy is the Area Coordinator for Greek Life. The rest of the people are some of our Graduate Resident Directors (GRDs). I directly supervise Cassie, Alicia, and Luke (also Adam, but he is not in the picture).

We have our last two days of training on Monday and Tuesday and then the residents start moving in and classes start on the 27th! Besides doing all of this fun stuff, I am also on the search committee to hire the new Director of Judicial Affairs and Outreach Services. Hopefully we will be bringing candidates to campus in the next couple of weeks. It has been pretty fun! Everything else is going pretty well. Jeff and I are trying to find a weekend to get away for a miini vacation - hopefully we will go camping over Labor Day weekend. Well, have a great week everyone!

Such a long time...

I have been quite busy the past couple of weeks. The GRDs moved back on campus the day Jason and Matt left and we started two weeks of training the next day. It was pretty intense and a little crazy, but I made it through! I am now in the middle of RA training and getting ready for the residents to move in and for classes. I feel like I really haven't had a life, but that is the way things usually are in August for a person who works in housing. Jeff and I did get to go to the 2nd Annual Saturday Night Live themed party for the celebrations of Josh, Kristi, and Toni's birthdays! We had a great time. Here are some pictures of the characters:

Above: Mango (Catherine) posing with Canteen Boy (Court). Below is me dressed as Harry Caray.
By the end of the evening, Jeff (above) had a little bit of everyone's costume on, or so it seemed! Below is Toni dressed as a Spartan cheerleader and Outing as a super-fan of Da Bears.

Josh celebrated his 30th birthday cowbell style! The hair on his chest...none other than his dog's Lolly!

Sorry for not posting in a while. Hopefully we will do a better job of updating everyone. This weekend I will be going on our RA Retreat. Maybe I will be the camera and take some pictures of my staff or something :-)
