So I'm back at school. I'm already working at the office, even though I can't officially start until the beginning of the semester. Now THAT'S dedication! Or something like it, you know?
I'm very poor. Due to a mix-up gone very wrong, I owed a very big chunk of change to the business office before I could come back on campus. Now, normally that would not have been such a problem, but people like me don't exactly get that much money that fast on the straight and narrow, you know? And I'm trying really hard to be that way now. So, I've got my application in to be an RA. Not my dream job, but it would do so much good for my financial status, that I can't possibly pass it up. Hopefully, I will get the job. Cross your fingers and wish me luck.
I also had to attend a "leadership retreat." Because I am the president of the pre-law club, they think that I'm a leader or something. So for three days, I was taken to WISCONSIN to a BIBLE CAMP to learn how to be a leader. But you know, not. I hated almost every second of it. The only part I actually enjoyed was when we played the stereotype game, where everyone got a name on their backs, and we got to go around performing the stereotype of their title. Like, a homeless person might be told to get a job. SOOOO much fun for me, Ms. Politically Incorrect! Other than that, it sucked.
As a part of the leadership retreat, I was also asked to help orientate the freshman to campus when they showed up on Thursday. So, being the kind-hearted person that I am, I stayed up and played pool with a few freshman. Hopefully, I have socialized enough to satisfy a requirement of looking the part of an RA, so I could get the job. Have I mentioned I'm broke?
I'm becoming a bit more reflective in my old age. Perhaps it's just melancholy, but maybe it's something more. Only time will tell, I guess.
Thinking - "Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaves a flower, but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, so Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day; nothing gold can stay."
