Last night, it was predicted that we would get about 6 inches of snow here in Decorah, so Ylvi residents requested that they have a snowball fight with Brandt Residence hall. We sent out facebook invitations to Ylvi and Brandt residents to have as many people show up for the snowball fight at 3pm. When I woke up this morning, it was actually lightly snowing, consistent so far with the weather predictions. But gradually, the snow started changing to rain and before 11am, even the little snow on the ground had disappeared. Disappointingly, the weather predictions we got turned out to be wrong. We probably can't have any snow fights until next year...
As part of our job training next semester, the newly hired Resident Assistants are supposed to take staff classes on Thursdays. The purpose would be to give the required preparation and leadership training for the job. Last Thursday, I had my first RA staff class. I really enjoyed it. We had workshops on what to expect on the job, the responsibilities, and minimum requirements RA's have to meet in the course of their job. Although it was very informative, the class was handled such that it would also be interesting.
To fulfil Luther's general education requirements, students have to take a Fitness and Wellness class. The class is for half a semester and I'm currently taking mine for the second half of this semester. Apart from the fact with this class, I now have 8am classes every day of the week [which really sucks], there are good signs that the class will be fun. On Thursday, we had this cool lab where we determined our VO2 max [kind of like how much your body uses up the oxygen you take in]. We also found out how flexible our shoulders and backs are and did some running. I got back to my room a little sweaty, but doing all that exercise felt really good. I'm actually looking forward to my class on Tuesday; we're also going to have another lab.
Although we just got back from Spring break, on Friday, we'll also go on Easter break. Not that I'm complaining [I mean...I would want as many breaks as possible, of course], but I would just have wished the break came when I was just a little more stressed out, close to how I was before Spring break. That way, I would really appreciate the break. Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to the break [the CAF will be open and we (those staying on campus) don't have to move to other dorms].
