Winter Break 2009

Sorry for the late posting, my academics this semester took priority... this was the hardest academic semester of my life. I didn't know classes could be this hard, but that's what I get for taking three 400-level classes. Luckily, everything worked out well for me... I am rocking a 3.5, ladies and gentlemen!

This break could not have come at a better time. As much as I love school and my life on campus, I needed a little bit of time for me to breathe. Very rarely do I ever take time for myself, and this break that is all I have done. I am working in a manufacturing plant and all I do is work at a large machine with my iPod in, listening to the Harry Potter audio books. Being solo and working by myself has given me a new perspective on what I want to do in my next few semesters at UNC.

I always knew I wanted to work with students, but my involvement on campus and work as an RA has given me a way to work with students in a more practical application. I will be working as an intern in the Department of Housing and Residence Life! I am really excited for this new opportunity and can't wait to work with my bosses in order to make student living better here. I think I may get to work with LeadOn, which is a leadership program for incoming students, and I am really excited for that!

I move back to campus the first week in January,and I can't wait to get my floor ready for my residents to come back. If anyone has any ideas on what my "floor theme" should be... let me know in the comments!My break is moving really slowly. Ever since I found out that this intership is a "go", it has been the only thing occupying my mind, and no matter how much Harry Potter I listen to or how many fun themes I think of, my excitement for the next semester won't go away!
