So today I finished my first day of the Spring 2012 training for my RA position. It was a long day, but luckily I like this training MUCH more than the training in the Fall. For some reason it seems a little faster paced, a little less boring, and a little more kind. Now we get to wake up by 10 instead of 8! That's a huge improvement for a night owl like myself. Although there is something odd about training....
Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is Muppets.
You may be wondering "What does that even mean???" Well, it means that our schedules are based on Muppets. Our new door decs from Res Life are Muppets. Our pens have Muppets taped to them. Our notebooks have Muppets taped to them. Our presentations have Muppet-themed pictures. Our plates for meals even have Muppet designs. EVERYTHING IS MUPPETS. As Jamie put it "We will shove Muppets down your throat!" What has caused this is still a mystery to me, but at least its entertaining.
Plus, this time around, training is only 5 days instead of 2 weeks and we already know quite a lot of material, so its more laid back than it was before. Here's for hoping I manage to survive round two of training. Don't worry, its not that bad.
As for the past few days I've just been relaxing in Fairbanks and I finally got to go skiing when it warmed up to 20 from -30 for just a day before getting cold.
Now to sleep for another 11 hour day of training tomorrow.
