I was then woken up at 8:15 am because I felt like shit and I couldn't breathe from the shitty sinuses draining into my throat.
I spent a good majority of my day helping students establish an internet connection on a couple dozen computers (none of which used Vista, every damn one of them had Windows 7 on it), all because the IT desk was closed. Two other CAs and I volunteered to help them all, and I had a little fun with it.
I discovered not only will the kids ignore the fact that I asked them to clean up the packing boxes from the hallways, they ALSO decided that was the best place to leave McDonald's bags. In the fucking hallway. How old are these freshmen again?
I spend a good deal of time with the front desk also because I was fucking bored. Things are chillin', and then I look up and see a mouse running around inside one of the light panes. We got pictures. It was awesome.
I had my first serious duty experience tonight--and I wasn't even on duty. We were hanging out at the front desk, and someone came down because a roommate was having a seizure. Strangely enough, two of us chilling were CAs that weren't on duty, but we ran up there ASAP anyways. I even had to call the hall director and duty people to get there. Public Safety and EMS was pretty damn fast, they were. And then I had my first documentation to write up--with the help of our Canadian hall director who wanted to spell 'bystander' as 'bystandard'.
I am on the verge of ripping the kids on my floor a new one. They have no concept of responsibility--and when they easily could've, they didn't. They were not only belligerent to my fellow CAs, but they left new garbage that wasn't there before they cleaned up the shit. I won't feel bad at all of so few people show up for our first mandatory meeting and won't get to vote on 24 hour visitation. I love talking with the girls, but a good number of them were shitty at cleaning. I was glad the guys kept their side pretty clean, but they were belligerent and becoming more trouble than they're worth.
I cannot wait for classes to start when things should settle down. So far, the freshmen have proven to be a good number of assholes and ignorant children who can't take out their own garbage, let alone use their indoor voices.
FUCKING HELL
