Good News

Day 49----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, about that good news, I have officially been appointed Recreational President. My job is to try and come up with creative activities for students, advise Rec Staff on student punishment, and keep things organized. But other than that, my duties are more or less the same as far as reinforcing the rules; no chewing, excessive public display of affection, excessive horseplay, misuse of equipment, and swearing. Of course, I have to play for both teams and keep the staff and the students happy.

I wouldn't say I let students get away with a lot, but I'm not a hard ass either. If I have to repeatedly ask a student to behave, I inform the staff and let them deal with it. Most of the kids in Rec are my friends anyway and they respect me so they listen to me, more or less. Many of the them also happen to be guys that admire me, and a quick bat of the eyelashes and a pouty face goes a long way. Don't get me wrong, I have kicked a few of my friends out for not taking me seriously. They know that behind these big brown eyes there is a woman not to be messed with. As my Mom always says, "Don't poke the sleeping bear".


I was also appointed Wing Two Leader in the Dorm. Originally, the Dorm Manager, Barbara Corpuz, wanted  me to be Dorm Chief, the highest position within the dorm. Alas, the other head staff was against it; she didn't think it was fair to the other girls or that I was ready, so that didn't happen. Wing Leader is not a big step and its not a hard job. What exactly does it entitle? I'm not sure because I politely declined the position. The reason is because you can't be a leader in Rec, a member of the SGA (next paragraph), and a leader in the dorm, so something had to give. And besides, it won't be my last chance for a dorm position.


I recently signed up for a position in the SGA (Student Government Association). I very much hope that I am elected as Vice President. I think that I could really make some significant changes. Maybe not right away, but over time anything is possible. I felt that I could have more of an effect on student lives and make a difference to a larger amount of students while being a member of SGA, rather than being Dorm Chief and trying to influence a bunch of crabby, defiant, emotional, PMS driven young adults.

*punctuation is hard! damn commas and semicolons. grrrrr*


Anywho, other than that I don't believe I have any more serious updates. I'll keep you posted. 'Night all!


P.S.

Almost forgot! Today, all the students who went on the fishing trip went to a salmon barbecue. I guess it was kind of a 'Thanks for helping out' kind of thing. The food was delicious and I had a really good day! :)
