Although the last few days haven't been drastically busier than any other day, I have found myself running on empty. I'm not sure why I feel so tired...perhaps its because I've been going to bed too late? Or perhaps, its my lack of caffeine intake haha. Anyways, despite being super super tired all of the time, the last few days have been very productive and fun! I've had more one on one's with some of my staff. They all went very smoothly, but there is one student whose personality is very intriguing. Although very competent, their social presence is rather awkward and forceful. I also finally discovered what was wrong with my Duke email account! However, the downside was I also discovered the hoard of emails that had built up.
Last night was the third Tuesday Night Social. Two of my staff members put on a "Decade's Dance." Although the program started out very slow, it eventually drew a great crowd, who were all very engaged. Most of the attendees were our Indian students, who introduced us all to some new music and new dance moves. I had a GREAT time! We (the res life staff) all dressed up from different decades ranging from the 1950's to the 2000's. I made an attempt at 'Miami vice,' but it ended up looking more like 'frat boy.' Afterward, a few of the RA's invited me to watch the season finale of Glee. Of course I said yes.
Hopefully I'll start feeling more like myself over the next few days. I'm trying to get back in the routine of going to the gym. I did very well last week, but I've missed the past few days, and I think maybe that is affecting my energy level.
Cheers!
