The two major highlights of my week were my interview to be a Resident Assistant for next year and the fact that Relay For Life is tonight!!
My interview for the RA position took place on Tuesday. I felt like it went pretty well, but sometimes it's just hard to think of answers to some of the more difficult questions, especially when you are put on the spot like that. In general, I felt like I did the best I could and I just acted like myself so I am happy with that. February 22nd is the magic day when we will find out if we were hired as an RA for next year or not. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!
Also, I turned in my application to be in the Radiation Therapy program here at UW-L over winter break and I am supposed to be hearing soon to find out whether or not I get to have an interview for that, which would probably take place sometime in late February. I'll keep you posted on the results of this as well!
Tonight is the Relay For Life event which is being held at the REC center on the UW-L campus. It is from 6pm to 6am and serves as an event to celebrate those who have won their battle with cancer, remember those who are currently battling cancer or have lost their battle, and fight back against these cancers that take so much. The event consists of people walking around the track all night long and there are also tons of activities to do when you take a break from walking in the relay.
Since the beginning of the school year, teams have been fundraising money to support the American Cancer Society which Relay For Life is associated with. I have been working hard since the start of the fall semester as part of the student planning committee for this huge event and it is a great feeling to finally see everyone's hard work coming together on this wonderful night! I was the Co-Chair of the Luminaria subcommittee for the event this year. Luminaria are bags that can be purchased in memory or in honor of someone you know that has battled/is battling cancer. They are a great way to honor your loved ones and all they have been through. During the Luminaria Ceremony, the lights are turned off and all the Luminaria bags are lit up. Let me tell you, it is a very emotional time with a powerful slideshow and inspirational music, poetry, etc. It brings me to tears.
Tonight is going to be crazy and chaotic but tons of fun at the same time! I can't wait to be a part of this amazing experience once again!!
