Struggle. I usually like Day 2 of orientation. Resource fair, academic area meetings, registration. Usually there's not much to screw up. Today at registration there were so many questions, not to mention OASIS issues. First, three student's pin weren't working, so I called the registrar to reset them, but no one answered. I know right? Struggle. So I took two students up to the registrar and another one drove with their parent - only I sent the student and parent to the bursar's office and not the registrar. Struggle. So the student and her mom had a pretty rough day, thanks to yours truly. Not to mention the fact that after the fact, no one understood why I took the students down there. So I just felt kind of worthless. Then there were so many questions during registration - and I kind of felt overwhelmed because I felt like I was on my own. Then, folder stuffing started to stress me out. Side note: I'm bad at folder stuffing. The one thing I didn't want to do was stress myself out unnecessarily because I had already done that today. So I just let myself fall behind and I went at my own pace. And you know what? It felt damn good. While today may have been a struggle, I can feel myself growing accustomed to the OL role and what my role is on the team and how to handle small groups. I'm trying to get excited for tomorrow, because tomorrow is Day 1 again.
