Welcome to the lives of "Residential Assistants at the Office of Special Programs" aka "unsupervised workers with little to no structure whatsoever"

Hello from Lexington, specifically Washington and Lee University Gaines Hall Suite 297 Room C, via Granny Smith (the computer of one Shiri "syad" Yadlin). We're two days in, still going strong. Since our lives are so terribly thrilling (so thrilling, in fact, that we have nothing better to do on a Friday night than create our own blog), we decided to tell our story so you lowly civilians can anxiously follow us this long, epic summer. For those of you who don't know, we Sophomores are spending just over 6 weeks of our summer vacation in good old Lex Vegas, working for the Office of Special Programs as Resident Assistants for the Alumni College and a few other small conferences taking place on campus this summer. The Alumni College is a program for always-exciting-and-adorable Alumns of W&L who have nothing better to do with their money and would like to come back to school for a week of their summer to take classes, hear lectures, get boozed up, and participate in other such events. As RAs, we help set everything up for the alumns (rooms, beds, TV equiptment, coffee breaks, socials, etc), mingle and schmooze with them during meals and receptions, and otherwise help them out with everything they need. Should be a good time. Until June 28th, when the first AC (as Alumni College will henceforth be refered to) session begins, we are setting up for a Teacher Conference and Sigma Nu conference. Other than that we don't really know, but we shall see soon enough. Anyway, that's just a brief overview of what is to come this summer. We hope to conclude each post with a "question of the day". We plan to sprinkle in a few other feature surprises as well, so be sure to stay tuned and follow this blog religiously. That's right, bookmark it. Don't just put it on your menu, but on your actual bookmark bar, so our witty banter is only one click away. Until later, peace.

  1. So, I'm honored to be your first follower! What's the question of the day for today??

  2. Are the questions of the day secret questions, known only to the two of you? If so, I'd guess that yesterday's question of the day was "Will anyone notice if we don't put a question?"

    Great idea to do a summer blog!

  3. This is ridiculous in the most awesome way possible. It is quite likely I will become your most avid fan until my job which is supposed to be giving money away once again has money to give away. And even after that, I'll probably still be a devoted fan. That is only though if you are checking my blog (which I unfortunately cannot be so candid in).
