This weekend has been intense. With the moving-in of new residents and returning students, the hall experienced the busiest days of the year. I'm glad I can be of help to the new residents, especially when they are international students or out-of-state students.
I was surprised by how some residents were so anxious about their new living environment, while some just treated it like a second home almost instantly. Of all the people I met, the parents are the ones who worried about the move-in the most. Some of the parents were fascinated by the facilities, some were complaining without even using them yet.
Also, I have learned a few things about new residents. I share with Jake (my co-CA) residents from Brazil, Germany, China, Korea, Japan, and of course, the United States. Through the ice-breaker games and the interactive activities we had during the opening ceremony in the stadium, I have learned their names, most of them.
I look forward to a great year ahead with the new floor and an exciting community. I also prepare myself to be a great resource to my residents in time of need. On top of that, just cross my fingers and pray hard that there will be no false fire alarms, or real fire alarm, disasters, or any kind of undesired circumstances taking place for this entire year. Amen and amen!

I am sort of anticipating for tomorrow. Could totally gulp a cup of mocha right now.
Cheerios!
