But not roses. Because they are cliche. And because my love life is nonexistent.
I haven’t really had the time to really reflect and write about what’s happened in the past…year or so? It’s been a while.
I’ll start with the biggest change: being an RA was a challenging, yet amazingly rewarding experience. I felt really nervous about being placed in upperclassman apartments, but I think it’s a good “beginner RA” setting. The residents aren’t so demanding, and it was easier for me to get used to the swing of things. Duty was definitely…interesting. The residents were more annoyed with RAs (since they’ve heard it all before…), and were a bit more aggressive. There were a few residents that I didn’t have a chance to really know, and another handful that I’ve become close friends with. I’ve definitely grown a lot from this experience, and I can’t wait for another year on the job!
This coming year will be very interesting…HELLO, party dorm?! Dat Greek life population tho.
I spent pretty much my entire summer studying for the MCAT aslfksjdl;kj uggggggggh. I’ve never had to study so long and so hard for a single test. Pretty much 50+ hours of studying per week, every week. I nearly broke down a couple times, and definitely burned out from taking practice tests daily for a month. Hopefully all the hard work will pay off?! I’ll find out in about a month.
So the past week has been my only “true” summer vacation, and I happily spent it watching a bunch of Hong Kong TVB dramas HEEHEE. It felt sooooooooo good to satisfy that craving I’ve postponed for so long.
I’ll spending the next 2-3 weeks at RA training (whoop dee doo~). Hopefully it will be more entertaining this time around. I’m excited to meet my new staff! Let’s do this!
