This may sound petty to you, but this has really made my Tuesday! I’m not too happy with UNC right now. Here’s the reason why. So we have this new text message emergency system that is supposed to be campus-wide and alert all of those who signed up for the service in less than 5 minutes. Well, the test run was today and lo’ and behold, I’m working in the office when the test is going off. The office phone rings, as well as my boss and others in the office. Then, the other student workers got the luxury of getting a text message from UNC. I was the only one left out of the group! What’s up with that?! But, I’ll get over it and continue to tell myself that every new thing has to work out the kinks and find its way. Hopefully you’ll get that later.
On a brighter note, I had an opportunity to be in the first meeting for the Black Student Alliance this year. Sitting there watching the freshmen figure out why they’re there and what they can offer is truly an amazing thing to see. Better yet, I think the amazing thing for me was literally being able to sit there and actually be a regular member and almost pass the torch off to the new generation of leaders on campus. It was an amazing thing to watch their hope and ambitions hit the ground running, while they tried to set plans of action to get the rest of the group engaged. That my friends, is no easy feat yet it is essential to development.
I’m looking forward to just offering advice and guidance when asked, rather than having the responsibility of making sure everything goes at least somewhat as planned. The challenge I’m giving myself is to see how long this sit back and watch game is going to last. Hopefully it will last until at least until May 8 because my graduation is definitely not going to be one of relaxation.
