Day Six - Closing

Dear WSU reslife (specifically RAs),
YOU HAVE IT SO FREAKING EASY! Closing the halls here is so much more work than what we do. You know how we have those amazing custodians that basically take care of everything and all we do is have them fill out their RIA? Well not so much at Tarleton. They walk through all their residents rooms once by themselves and mark all damages on a spread sheet, then they take all the stuff left in the rooms to either lost&found or the dumpster, then the RA has to remove any damaged/gross mattresses to a specific storage room (which for most people is far away), and then they finally get to do a final walk through with the hall director. PLUS they have their end of year banquet equivalent (bowling) on the same day...
New found happiness and appreciation for the WSU res life system.

I was assigned to the most country of all the hall directors yesterday. He is super into hunting, fishing, guns, etc. He works on a ranch when not in the res halls. He is difficult to understand at times because of his strong ass accent. HE IS AWESOME! Super friendly, funny, nice, and super super cute. He has a girlfriend and is way out of my league, but I wont mind working with him this summer at all. Then today I worked with a woman hall director... I feel like we are the same person really, but in the weirdest ways. Like she makes the same frustrated noises that I make, wears similar clothing, likes similar music, and has a similar attitude as I do. She is way more organized than me though so I will have to work on that... anyways she was cool, but since it was closing it was more actual work than fun time.

Now I am waiting for another hall director to take me to dinner :) yay for food! I am also excited because I will have no more assigned poeple to follow around this summer! it ends today! tomorrow I am sleeping in! AND my temp roommate went home for the night so I really will be alone for the first time since I left pullman on Sunday! Pretty exciting for me :) haha

I will take more pics this weekend of interesting stuff while I explore stephenville so I can post more fun stuff!
