Living & Working in Great Places
Living in a dorm for a week
Hey Folks -
Just thought I would share that I'm getting my mini-summer job, living in a dorm, community living, experience this week. I am up in Bellingham, Washington, on Western Washington University's campus, to be a Company Advisor (hereafter CA) for a bunch of high school students to teach them about business through the Washington Business Week program. Whew. By the way, I attended this camp as a student back in 1989. Where does the time go?
Anyhow, I checked into my dorm today and am pleasantly surprised that I have easy Internet via the university network, two beds and I thought my own bathroom, but that apparently may not be the case, since the other sliding door to the room next door to me is closed. It's like I've gone back in time 19 years, but also have advanced 19 years. It's wild. I bought a box of Kleenex for my bare room and feel like I should buy a plant just to dress it up. : ) I've taken over the second bed and scattered my stuff sufficiently. It should be a fun week.
I'll post pictures as they materialize, but I just wanted to share that I'm living a bit like you guys this week. Good on you for making it happen each summer and winter around the country. I've got a ton of respect for you.
