Lazy Days

Today, I went to my internship expecting to have a bustling day getting ready for Open House and next week's Homecoming weekend. Instead the office was quiet. Actually, unusually quiet that it was weird. I thought that most people were at lunch,  but apparently there were in a meeting or something. Katie was out of the office going to pick up her rental car and Paul was busy working on his own projects and such today.

I talked to the Katie Moulton, the new lady who is running Student Retention and the retention department of Nichols Admissions. We discussed improvements upon the retention of the school and how to make sure the students are satisfied. Having a role as an Resident Assistant, I have been able to be the inside eyes and ears for the residents to listen into what they have to say as far as what they want from this school. I got to bring up concerns with the residents as far as housing, programs and opportunities to help them to stay on campus. The rest of my internship consisted of me sitting and waiting for Paul for me to give an assignment and then leaving to go send a girl to the trainer. While he was gone, the fire alarm went off and by the time we were allowed in the building, there was only 5 or so minutes left. Paul's assignment for me was after he printed out a newsletter, to distribute them into the professors mailboxes. But since the fire alarms interrupted the process, I think this project will be held off until Friday. Today was quite boring and frustrating for me.
