What a week! I think that is how I start out most of my blogs each week, but the statement really does suit each week. Over here on the opposite side of campus the COE Community has a lot going on. Our community is running very smoothly with only a few bumps in the road. Everyone is getting along and we haven't had many storms get out of hand. The thing that does concern me though is that I feel our storms are close by. When I am doing my rounds I will come across residents who say things about how their room is doing that I can tell that they are getting frustrated with their roommates. I have also encountered people getting irritated with others in the community that are not just their roommates. I feel that my residents are still at the forgiving point but I don't know how much longer that will last. I have been thinking a lot about this time and am ready to take it head on!
I plan on starting my one-on-ones reflection talks this coming week. Hopefully those who have issues with other community members will be willing to let me in on the situation and be open to new ideas on what we can do about it. I want to start my one-on-ones with the residents who have expressed some kind of annoyance first and then the ones who might be causing the annoyance. By doing this I want to reveal the real issue and help prevent it before it starts. I also included a few pictures of some residents preparing dishes for our family weekend brunch. Each suit was in charge of creating one dish to share with the community and their families. It was great food and lots of fun! We had a great parents weekend and a great week!
