I have discovered my new favorite yogurt place - Pinkberry. Since I'm back on Weight Watchers and counting my points, I'm attempting to make good dessert choices. Pinkberry is perfect for that - their frozen yogurt is made with skim milk, so the kcal count is awesomely low and they have a lot of options for healthy toppings (strawberries and mangos - oh, my).
And /end plugging Pinkberry. But seriously, I'm in love with a low-fat frozen dessert. My life is just that depressing; the most substantial relationship I'm in is with a tasty treat.
Anyway, the internship has been going really well. We had our first full week of work last week, oye. I enjoy the 4 day weeks so much more. I should get used to it though, our last furlough day is this Friday and then we're back on normal weeks.
I've been spending an hour and 1/2 a few times a week working the Orientation Table for the new student (and transfer student) Orientation sessions. There is a strong fascination with customer service in me - I think it must be my WOO (Winning Over Others) tendency. I love being able to make someone smile, or sound excited, or laugh when I'm talking to them. Yesterday I got seven people to sign-up for more information about Greek Life - and I wasn't even working that part of the table!
All of this is really revealing to me that perhaps I'm not meant to be in Housing and Residence Life. I adore working with my Resident Assistants and ARDs, but - like a floozy - I get a lot of pleasure from brief meetings with people I don't really know that well and the challenge of having to win them over in a short amount of time. So, perhaps, something with Orientation or Admissions might be more fit for my talents ... When I'm on my game, I'm a recruiting machine.
The oddest thing that's happened to me while working the Orientation Table is that I've been developing a bit of a desire to join a social Greek organization - which I never thought would happen (and I've said this several times too, haha). There's just something about talking to incoming students about these groups that makes me feel like, maybe, I missed out. Though, to be honest, Greek Life was fairly non-existent at my undergraduate institution, so it wouldn't have really been at all similar to what I see at Pacific or here at Sac State.
Okay, that's enough for now ... I have some businesses to solicit for Move-in!
Man, I really need to post here more often! It's been awhile since my last post, haha.
