"a normal week," a conference and more!

-

 Hi there!

I know it's been more than a week but life happens and I am happy and busy, so all good things. 

Since my last update, I have gotten to take on more responsibilities regarding the engagement interns, which has been really nice as I get more of my grounding. I will say though that I thought I was prepared for a lot of student reasons for cancelling or changing meetings but "is it safe to walk in a thunderstorm?" did not make that list. Suffice it to say, we hosted a mostly successful hybrid meeting. 

Outside of meetings, there are a lot of chats with students over walks, iced teas & coffees, stickers and fidgets! There are a lot of idle chit chat and feelings, but I am growing some good connections and 90% of the complaints I have received are very easy to act on. 

Beyond the usual responsibilities, my students are starting to put on programming-this past week we had friendship bracelet making- and we are prepping for the high holidays and alumni weekend which starts this Friday. Plus this week I got to attend a conference for student facing staff in the Lehigh Valley Consortia, it was a fun mix of professionalism and chatting!

Outside of work, I am continuing to explore and last weekend I went to a BeerFestival with a coworker. On a walk I this week, I saw 6 deer and a couple of cats! I also got to spend some time FaceTiming with various friends ❤️

Have a great week, 

me

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
