Watching Fight Club always makes me introspective, makes me wonder about what I should be doing with my life; what I should be valuing.
Tonight has been a good night in my job. I've made some really good connections with some students in my building. I have a funny thought process that goes through my head when I talk to students, when I introduce myself, when I respond to their concerns. All of my freshman fill out a survey online, and one of the questions is "do you know your Resident Director?" I've started looking at the answers to that one, and they are interesting - and they make me think. It colors my interactions a little, I want to them all to know me, it's that adolescent need to be liked combined with my inherent nature: I want to be the best at everything I do.
Being the best at this job is a little different than a typical career. I have to interact, build relationships, discipline and provide for 740 college students - a most unpredictable and not easily mollified bunch.
Best can be a relative term.
