Back to Jenkins!

Our wonderful Hall Manager, Demetrio, resigned a few weeks ago which left his position open. I applied and was hired on Friday, moved in on Saturday, and started my position as the Draper/Jenkins Hall Manager today. 

 He set such a great example and he is definitely missed!

I've been an RA for two and half years and it's a little bittersweet to leave that position. The hardest part was telling my residents that I would no longer be living on the wing with them. Here are some pictures of my favorite RA memories:

Halloween 2010. Tara and I were RAs in Sierra, learning the ropes.

Kelly, Shakshi, and me having a girls night in Fall 2011. We were RAs in Jenkins last year. Remember when I found out they were hiring me back for the first time?

Kaela, Tara, and I were the "Sierra Girls". We took a trip to Disneyland last Winter Break. Such a blast.

This fall, we had "Have Dinner With Your RA" during opening weekend. This is about half of the girls I had living on my wing this year. I miss them already...and it's only been three days.

When the residents are away, the RAs play. Once the residents moved out for Winter Break, we turned off all the lights, and played hide-and-go-seek. Crazy intense. Loved every second of it.

This is such a new experience and I am thrilled for this opportunity to grow professionally and personally. The Lord has definitely provided me with such a rich experience living in the halls and I couldn't imagine what life would be like without these experiences. I can't wait to serve my staff and Sacramento State Housing and Residential life in this position.

I couldn't post this blog without showing you this. I am not the most efficient packer. Oops. Thanks to everyone who helped me move buildings!
