On Call Sunday 10/31/10

Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope all of Aldrich and Burnside staff had fun! The Patriots where victorious against the Vikings this afternoon giving them the best record in the NFL but we still be hated by the media and not considered the best team in the NFL go figure...Some of the residents dressed up for one last hurrah before the official ending to the Halloween weekend. Overall the building was pretty quite and a couple kids needed toliet paper but other than that on call was pretty much the same old same old just with more witches and monsters around.

P.S. This is an awesome rendition of Monster Mash by Mike Tyson & Bobby Brown

Woo hoo.. twas the night before halloween and all through the dorm, not a creature was stirring, cuz they're all watching porn. The flyers were hung all over the walls with care,in hopes that Cynthia would not bust people for partying too loud. Haha anyways.. yeah so the night was quite quiet. I spent most of the night in the office with Mike. During my rounds, everyone was being toooo quiet, it was soooo peaceful. Everyone behaved very well. Good halloween eve.

Love, Cynthia

On call 10/29

On call was fun last night. Hang out with Mike most of the night. The building was actually TOO quiet. There were a few residents dressed up. They looked presentable, unlike what most other college kids wear. Mm.. other than that, the kiddies were all on their best behaviors.

The End,
Cynthia

10/28/10

Last night was fine ... there was really no need for 2 people to be on call. I stayed in the office for the most part and ate ice cream with Cynthia. A couple people were in costume, but it seemed like most people treated it like any other Thursday. Happy Halloween.

Mike

On Call 10/27

On call was fun. It was a rather quiet night actually. Saw a few residents during my office hour. Mike was there to visit. Mm.. oh I saw these residents that were dressed all in black. They opened the door when I was right in front of it during my rounds. It was pretty freaky but funny. =P I also saw a construction worker.. Other than that, everything went smoothly.

Love,
Cynthia

On Call Tuesday 10/26/10

On Call 10/24

On call went well. A few residents came into the office during office hours and said hi. Rounds went well. Everyone was being a little noisy in the early parts of the night but then quieted down after a little bit. Other than that, everything was peachy ^_^

Saturday on-call. I brought down all my homework for my office hour, but instead talking on the phone with my parents for over an hour. It was good talking to them :) can't wait to see them when i go home for thanksgiving. I un-propped some doors on my first round, and by my last two rounds the place was dead besides some people walking to the front to pick up food delivered. it was incredibly hard for me to stay awake for this on-call, probably just the lack of sleep from the week catching up with me. I passed out fast after my last round then got a nice extremely loud knock on my door around 2am because someone locked themselves out. The girl felt bad waking me up, but she was very sweet. after that i climbed right back into bed and the night was good after that!

On Call Friday, 10/22/10

Friday On Call :( It wasn't as bad as it sounds. I hung out in the office and got caught up on some homework and also watched an episode of The Office. During my rounds I talked to a few residents and also had to ask one to take out a bag of trash next to his door but he was literally leaving and throwing it out as I asked. Overall, on call was boringgg yet very peaceful. Fantasy basketball and hockey are underway as we speak and I am very excited!!

P.S. I realized I am awful with first impressions and encounters :0

On Call Tuesday, 10/19/10

The MLB playoffs are underway and the World Series is about to start! I am rooting for the San Francisco Giants because I love their young catcher Buster Posey and their Pitcher Tim Lincecum. Baseball is my favorite sport and it's a shame it is almost over with :( Overall, my on call was quite and I had to unprop a couple of doors but other than that it was smooth sailing my friends!

P.S. This video swears but illustrates the Giants goofy cast of a baseball team...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5qFiutuOZ8

On Call Thrusday 10/14/10

I had a hot date recently and it was the balls. This girl Emma and myself had been talking and we finally setup a date. She is a cute innocent and sweet girl and very genuine. We went out to eat at Rhody Joe's then went back to my room to watch a movie, where we held hands and just had a grrrreat time. I haven't felt this good about a girl since the first time a saw Rach-El. And I really want to make this happen...Wish me Luck!

P.S. Rachael is extremely jealous so try not to bring up this topic in front of her to avoid confrontation, Thanks & Noodles!

The Child In Him

I loved the child in him
so innocent and sweet
The mischief in his eyes
the blush upon his cheek
The tender way he spoke
that showed me that he cared
The touch of his warm hand
that gently touched my hair
The smiles that we shared
that filled my life with glee
For when I was with him
I found the child in me

Thought I would share a poem with everyone and overall my on call was just the way I like it...EASY.

On call 10/12

So last night was fun. Before my office hours even began, I started hearing a lot of hustle and bustle downstairs. Therefore, I went downstairs to make sure everything was okay. I heard a lot of banging in one room and clinking as well so I just knocked and told them to bring out the alcohol. After a few minutes of awkward silence, the room owner inally coughed the alcohol bottle up. I brought all 4 (should have been 5) students downstairs and proceeded to write them all up. So that was fun. I realized I ran out of forms and ran over to Burnside to get some more. Elise was there =) anyways.. So I kept hovering around A300 and B201 area since those were the only loud areas. I just told everyone to keep it down. After the concert, everyone was initially quite loud but then suddenly became quiet and nothing else happened for the rest of the night.

The End,
Cynthia

Columbus day! since there was no staff meeting tonight, I attended the pumpkin painting program in burnside and brought the aldrich phone with me, did some landuary, as I was going down to get my landuary out and start my 11oclock round, two residents had troubles with their toilets, one actually completely overflowed - I called Shelly just to see if there was anything else we could do about it until the morning. This is the second time I know of that someones toilet has overflowed. I unpropped some doors, everyone had their doors shut for quiet hours, overall it was a relaxing night.

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!

To be honest I can't remember what happened Sunday. I did fire inspections with Ryan around 5, but I can't remember my on call. I guess that means nothing happened? Hmm well I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Pretty much everyone went home for the 3-day weekend, so the building was pretty quiet. I went over to Burnside and hung out with Elise for most of the night. If you ever get a chance go for a walk/run on the Kingston bike path ... all of the leaves are changing colors and there's a massive field of pumpkins a half mile from the parking lot. It's also perfect running weather. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

On call 10/8

On call initially was pretty slow. Office hours were very quiet. No one came to the office hours until the very end of the hour. It was my two B tower residents that wanted to use the kitchen. I let them in and as soon as they went inside, I heard a loud clink. It turned out one of them dropped a glass bowl on the floor. Kathryn was the unfortunate one who got the bowl dropped on. I got them a broom and pan and Christina swept up while I ran upstairs to get my first aid kit. I gave Kathryn an alcohol wipe and then a bandaid and ointment. She was completely fine and laughing about the situation but then a few minutes later, she looked down and saw that I had already bled throughthe bandaid so I gave her some gauze. She's okay though and finished cooking their Mac and cheese. The rest of the night went smoothly and nothing else happened.

Love, Cynthia

On call 10/6

So my on call was very entertaining. I spent my office hours with Ryan and Mike. Originally we were all going to help Ryan with his homework but of course, we got side tracked and spent our time browsing the Internet. Mike thought it would interesting to google everyones name. I turned out to be an artist or office person, Mike was an artist and Rachael was just Rachael. Ryan had an interesting website called Ryansullivanisland.com.. And well it was basically this guy making videos. The first one we watched was this weird "scary" movie. Browsing through more.. Well the further we browsed, the more graphic it became. So we quickly closed that page and laughed it off. Other than that, the rest of my night was not as entertaining. All the residents behaved and nothing happened.

On Call Tuesday, 10/5/10

My on call was pretty boringgggggg. Literally nothing happened except me unpropping a door or two. And at the moment my creative juices are not working one bit so this will be the worst blog post in the history of Ryan J. Sullivan IIX.

PS. Mike and I are now to be refereed to as Captain Awesome & Mr. Fabulous

ryan spent some of my office hour with me, yelling woot woot every 5 seconds- real attractive noise, if any of you dont believe me you shoud spend a half hour listening to him yell it at a TV. staff meeting tonight! just like every other monday night. Something I'm very happy about: cynthia and I finally got our online program eval to work.. good work cynthia! 5th times a charm ;) As for rounds, I did one after we completed the eval and people were playing music with doors open and stuff before 11 so nothing big, someone had a rug outside in their hall I told them they had to bring it in. Ummm.. last round was quiet, ryan did A&B tower with me. I checked bathrooms as I walked through C. The night was quiet though and I slept like a baby in my big bed with a cold. Matt's mom woke me up with a nice phone call in the morning - which I'm actually very thankful for because I needed to shower before class and I would not have woken up otherwise.

Same old, same old,

Typical Sunday night. I stayed in the office for a bit and learned Army running cadences, so if you're woken up at 6AM by somebody running by your balcony singing/yelling cadences, it just might be me. I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Mike

10/01/10

I stayed in the office for most of the night finishing my bulletin board, doing program proposals, and cleaning up a bit. A lot of people went out around 11. Around 3AM the URI Police called asking for the date of birth of one of our residents. He hung up before I could ask if there was a problem, but it was likely none of my business anyway (Shelly let me know if you think otherwise). Enjoy the weekend.

On Call Saturday, 10/2/10

Living the dream Saturday night on call. During my office hour I hung out with Rach-El well I wouldn't consider it hanging out Rach-El was just hitting on me the entire office hour. After my hour was done I unpropped a few doors during my rounds and talked with a few residents also. During my on call I set my fantasy football lineup for Sunday football and fantasy baseball along with the Red Sox season has come to an end :( Overall my on call wasn't to scabby.

PS. Its is officially leather jacket season :0
