Done with training!

I woke up at an ungodly time (7:15), but it was worth it, because I’m done with all of my training. Fortunately, the lectures today weren’t that bad (although a little boring), and I heard nothing about how we live in a “just” and “caring” community and what that means.

Spent basically all afternoon painting our floor (dorm-wise). It looks fantastic! I’ll post a picture of it sometime. The only thing that I find sort of frustrating is that one person is getting credit for doing everything, when really five people have been working on the floor consistently. Likewise, she’s getting credit for all of the ideas, the majority of which did not come from her.

I met a first year who lives on my floor today. He was pretty cool. I’m looking forward to meeting all of them and helping them start to really enjoy living in my dorm and Chicago. Perhaps this means drastic measures that may involve substances that aren’t permitted during O-Week. But really, I like to think of those rules merely as guidelines.
