On call 9/29

On call went pretty well. Hung out with mike and Ryan for a bit and finished my bulletin board. It came out pretty nice. Didn't really see any residents, except on my round. Everything went smoothly though.

On Call Tuesday, 9/28/10

On call went pretty smooth if I do say so myself. During my office hour listened to music and I tried to figure out how to make my fantasy football team better, my record stands at 1-3 which doesn't cut it. I am torn on who to start for this coming week I have to pick 3 running backs out of Steven Jackson, Beanie Wells, Peyton Hillis, LaDanian Tomlinson, and LeSean McCoy. During my rounds I unpropped a couple doors and had one lockout.

P.S. I finally invested in black shirts, 40 dollars worth to be exact.

sorry late posting - Lets see.. I got out of office hours and talked to one of my residents who is a senior, he was waiting for friends, but it was great talking to him, did that for about a half hour so i was late starting my first ronud - on first round people were playing music with their doors open and stuff so I said hi. On second round some residents had their door open playing apples to apples and asked if I wanted to play, thought that was cute, and by third round the place was quiet. Oh and I think I had two lockouts - one of my C tower residents is getting very close to having too many lockouts now I think.

Sorry for the late blog post, but all was fine Thursday. Cynthia hung out with me in the office for a while. I unpropped a couple doors on my rounds and had one lockout, but that was about it.

On Call Friday, 9/24/10

Being on call on a Friday night bummer :( My office hour I just watched youtube and a little tv. On my first round I talked to a few residents and told them to close their doors for 11pm. In between rounds I watch Community one of my new favorite shows on HULU. Then my second round not a soul was to be found I guess everyone went out. And on my finally round it was pretty quiet as well. My Friday on call could have been worse. Then in the morning after my on call I went home for the day to see my family and all my brothers and sisters!! My weekend overall was solid.

P.S. I have begun to use the word bro in everyday conversation and find it hilarious.

On Call 9/22

So my on call was pretty fun.. I hung out with Ryan and Mike in the office for quite a while. It was nice ^_^ then at around 11, I had a lockout. During my first round, I reminded the residents to close there door at 11 and during my next two rounds, all the doors were closed and everyone was pretty quiet.

We had a staff meeting, lasted til 10:30, then Ryan was very nice and did rounds with me, there were a bunch of people with doors open so I stopped in and said hi. Mike tried to make me tuck him into bed. Then Ryan locked himself out of his room. We should write him up. Last round was veryy quiet, Ryan also accompanied me with that round too.

On Call Tuesday, 9/21/10

On Call was not very entertaining. I sat in the office with Mike and we just hung out like the best friends we are. A few people needed toilet paper and I complied. Then Rach-El stopped by and was hitting on us. Then I went on my round and stopped to talk to a few residents who had their doors open. Then on my next two rounds nothing happened and no lockouts! I love it. So all in all my on call was just another brick in the wall.

Oh, PS. Kenny Powers: Eastbound & Down starts up again this Sunday Night on HBO very funny show. Welp, cya later.

On call 9/19

So my on call night started off pretty fun. I saw Mike in the office during my on call and thought he was just there yo hang out. After about 10-15 minutes, he was puzzled and asked me why I was in the office. I told him I was on call and then he said.."no, I'm on call" and I said "no we switched, remember?" and he said.."oh noooo! Crap, now what am I going to do?" well after a little while, mike just went back to his room and I finished my office hours. During my rounds I had residents asking for some toilet paper. Other than that, nothing else really happened. It was a good night.

Not much happened last night. I had 3 lockouts within an hour before my on call even started, but that's about the most contact I had with residents all night. On my second round I ran into Matt who said he had to talk to a room in C-Tower about noise. I eventually made my way over there and everything was fairly quiet.

Nothing happened tonight, very quiet.

On Call Thursday, 9/16/10

My on call was pretty fun last night. During my office hour me and Mike messed with Rachael but what else is new. Also during my office hour I set my preliminary fantasy football lineup for the upcoming weekend. I am also in a fantasy baseball league and one of my favorite players Troy Tulowitzki has been red hot lately this past month he is 35/100 with 27 runs, 14 homers, 36 RBIs while sporting a .343 batting average...I think I am in love just don't tell Rachael. My first round was good I said Ciao! (hello in italian) to some of the residents that had their doors open. Then on my second round nothing much happened, and same for my final round. I was also lucky enough to not have any lockouts.

Everybody needs a TULO!!!

On call 9/15

During my on call, nothing too much happened. I had a few lockouts during my office hours and at about 1:30AM I had one of Rachaels residents come to my door asking forba bandage to wrap her wrist. I did not so I went down and asked Matt. He did not gave anything so I went and asked Shelly. That was when I found out we could not provide first aid to residents. I went back and asked if the resident wanted to call an ambulance, but she did not so I ended up getting her an ice pack. The next day she told me she had gone to health services and got a wrap for her wrist and everything was okay.

On Call Tuesday, 9/14/10

On Call was pretty boring not many people where around and the building was very quite. On my first round I talked to some of the residents and B tower door was propped open. During my 11 o'clock round I didn't see anyone except two kids going back to there room. And on my final round nothing again Tuesday's are very quiet I guess. Well that's about it this is probably my worst blog of the year thus far :(

On Call Monday, 9/13/10

First staff meeting tonight woohoo! I spent my office hours in the lounge watching speeding dating - a very successful program if I may add. Got back to good ole' Aldrich at 10 and did a round, everyone was quite, some open doors but it was not quiet hours yet. By the time I did my next round the place was dead - gotta love Monday nights. All and all it was a quiet night and I finally saw no trash outside rooms.

The building was pretty quiet last night. No lockouts, no loud rooms, no problems. Again I just had to unprop a couple doors, but other than that it was a good night. I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend.

On call 9/10

Wow.. so I was the lucky RA that got to be on call on the first weekend of the school year heh. Well overall the night wasn't too bad.. During my first few rounds, there were many residents running around the building ( mostly girls). They were basically trying to get ready to gobout.. Well I was kept pretty busy throughout the whole night.. I had about three, four, or five lockouts. It kinda started to blur together after three. Mm.. Around 2am, it got really loud so I went to investigate. It turned out to just be the girls who were coming back from wherever they went. I was worried when these one group of girls ran into the bathroom together.. But it turned out that they just all needed to pee really badly and didn't bother to close the door >.< well other than that, I was woken up a few times to unlock doors, but the night wasn't too bad..

Not a bad night. I stayed in the office until about 10 and had one lockout. Most people went out between 10-11, so by 11 the building was pretty dead. I had to unprop the A-Tower door a couple times, but other than that things went pretty smoothly.

Mike

On Call 9/8/10

On call went pretty well last night. During my office hours, Mike and Ryan were both there. They hung out in the lounge for a while. Then around 930ish, I went on my first round and they both tagged along with me. It was really fun since we just popped into most of our resident's rooms and introduced ourselves. Some of the rooms were decorated extremely nicely. These one girls' room was absolutely beautiful. Well then after that round, Mike went to his room to sleep and Ryan vamoosed as well. Then Anjila came over and we had a little spa night in the lounge. Then at around 11 I went for my second round. Most of the doors were already closed and it was pretty quiet. By my third round at 1, everyone seemed like they were sleeping so the night ended well.

My first real on call as a Aldrich RA. The night started off with the all hall meeting which went over well. Then I had my office hour and hungout with my man Mike. We played wiffle ball and shared a few tears and laughs. Following my office hour were my rounds the first round was ok a few residents might be tone def because of the music volume. The second round I told some residents to close their doors and the girl residents commented on my good hair day. My final round was dead quiet except for one lockout which wasn't a big deal. Overall, it was an experience of a life time.

My first real on call was tonight! I finished up editing resident pictures in the office then went for my first round at 9:00pm. I stopped in some rooms and said hello to some residents and asked how moving in went and everything. A lot of people had their doors open, which I was real happy about because I liked the idea that they were all being social with each other. However, with having open doors, the music travels much further so I had to tell some people to turn down the music a little. On my second round at 11:00pm, the towers were a lot quieter, and I only had to knock on a couple doors to tell them to move the trash that was in the hallway back into their rooms or in the dumpsters. One room thought that the ‘common room’ area was free game for storing their stuff; they were disappointed when I said they had to move all the boxes back into their room. I also had to tell some people to shut their propped doors for the night because it was 11:00pm. I closed the building entrance doors that were propped multiple times. Then on my third round at 1:00am, all was still pretty quiet, except I happened to run into two girls in two different towers who got locked out of their room, so I let them in and reminded them of the lockout policy, but since it was their first night back I did not charge them. There is still trash in the hallways but when I knocked on some more doors no one answered - I plan to mention NO TRASH in the hallways during my tower meeting. Overall, it was a good night, I was very nervous for my first on call but everything went smoothly!

Rachael OUTTTT

P.S. I have a huge crush on Mike

On call 9/1 & 9/2

Sorry for the lateness but my on call went pretty smoothly. On Wednesday it was pretty quiet. Just hung out at the office for a while. My rounds was quiet. Talked to a few of my residents tho. They were very nice. Then.. on Thursday I just ended up hanging out in the lounge with my fellow RAs Elise and Anjila. We had a lovely fashion show and everything. Umm.. Then I did my rounds and went to sleep. Then at 5am I had to get up and recharge the phone in the office because it was out of battery. Then at 8am I was woken up by a resident who needed to check in. Mm.. other than that, everything went as planned.

Love,

Cynthia

My on call was very quiet. I hung out in the office till 9:02.54 and then did my first round and saw no one in the building. Then I headed back to the office to play more robot unicorn attack...http://games.adultswim.com/robot-unicorn-attack-twitchy-online-game.html. My high score stands at 61,920. After I went on my second round to find some hooligans I told two rooms to close their doors because it was after quiet hours and they said sure and that I was the best RA ever and I replied I am the greatest of all time. Then I headed back to the office to hangout with Mike and play even more robot unicorn attack before my third round. After completing my third round I bumped into Rach-el and she comment on how good I looked under the moonlight...During my on call I also grew an appreciation for this new face via text messaging >_<
Overall, the building was extremely quiet.
