Club Res. Life

I am sitting in my office, taking a break from work, while Club Marian is in full swing outside my door. Currently, there are two DJs set up in my residence hall, one on the 1st floor, one on the second. We have multicolored lights, a strobe lights, a bubble machine, and floors covered in balloons. And my residents are having a blast. Thank goodness it is only for a couple of hours!!

When I was an RA, we never came up with a programming idea this cool, but then, none of us were DJs, either. One of my RAs is a DJ and recruited one of his friends to help him by spinning on the other floor. But it is keeping them in on a Thursday night and hopefully keeping them away from the alcohol, and maybe reinforcing that when they go out, they don't need alcohol to dance and have a good time!

I need to write a letter and do some judicial file upkeep, so I figure that if I have to be on-the-job from 10 till midnight, I will actually get some work done. I'm just going to peek in on them periodically. I know, I know...I am such an old stick in the mud, huh? But this is the time of the night I've usually got my PJs on and am finally getting to watch my nightly dose of HGTV. Not so tonight, so I'll try to catch up on stuff that should've been done today except I had to do Homesteading and 1:1s and Summer Staff training planning meetings and be on duty (had an unusually high number of serious call-outs during the day).

Oh, and Happy Birthday, peacegrrl!!!
