Finished

I have just finished my English paper and earlier this morning I did extremely well on my presentation. This makes my 15th post so all that is left this week is to study for an exam tomorrow.

I am not as satisfied with this current paper as I have been with my previous ones. My other papers were the culmination of days of work and a lot of revisions. This paper, however, was written in only 3 to 4 hours. For the average person, that would be normal but I am very meticulous about my writing. Anyways, the paper is well written and is the correct length so I guess that is all that matters in the end.

Now I get to go talk to the Director of Residence Life and formally quit my Resident Assistant job. Hope this goes well!

I will be deleting this blog next year so don't expect any more posts from me...

Overwhelmed

I am so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I have to do in the next few days. The three main things coming up is a presentation tomorrow morning, an English paper due tomorrow afternoon, and a final exam Wednesday. Usually I am the student who is on top of everything but that has not been the case lately. Although my presentation is ready, I still have my English paper to finish and the final to study for. I hate when I am behind and I have not been slacking. At least when I slack, I know it is because of laziness and all I have to do is work hard to catch up. But when I have been working nonstop and I am still behind, there is really nothing I can do. My main concern is the English paper. I have got only my first paragraph written and I am a very slow writer. Tomorrow I have only about 3 hours to write it and from past experience that is not enough time. Well everything always works out in the end so we'll see two days from now how I managed to pull all this off.

New Job

So I have officially become an employee of a tech company that develops scientific grade cameras. I will be starting work this Christmas break and will work during my free time next semester. I can now quit my job as a Resident Assistant (RA) and get away from all the ridiculous aspects of working for the Department of Residence Life here at USM. I am very excited about all of this and cannot wait until I am no longer an RA.

I have become increasingly fed up with Res Life at USM during my time as a RA. I feel that the people who work in the department are extremely unprofessional and live in a bubble isolated from the real world. I am pretty sure that all the upper-level employees started as RAs and worked their way to their current position, never experiencing work outside of residence life. This has severely limited the way they see the world and has created a distorted view of their importance to this world. Somehow they feel that their contribution to the lives of college students is the greatest possible achievement of human existence. Little do they realize that nearly no college students benefit from anything they do or even care that about "residence life."

Ugh, I am just so glad I can finally get away from this horrible job.
