oh, shallow me

Sorry for the long absence, my friend the reader. I have hardly had time to sleep, so blogging has taken the cut from my schedule.

In my newly acquired position of Resident Assistant/enforcer of quiter radio volumes/buster of unnecessary dorm parties/hated new authority I have so far learned nothing. I suppose that is all right, but it is leaving me exhausted. If this job is so time consuming, I would like to take something away from it other than baggy eyes and a check for my room and board. Any job that demands so much time should be rewarding. Perhaps I am not trying hard enough.

I do like a lot of my residents, and we have had some fun times together. I love making bulletin boards, and door decorations make me smile. The girls especially loved their Disney princess valentines.

In the first week of school, I lost a couple of gaskets, because I was telling myself that if I don't like this job, I won't like teaching. I really hope it's different -- I mean, living with people really changes your perspectives. Teaching in a high school deals with students in small doses at a time. Am I saying I like more shallow relationships? I hope that's not what I mean.
