The First Half of My Work Week

The last few days of work were pretty standard days in the office. Students have been coming in to pay October's rent for the last few days, so I have been doing a lot more of the face-to-face interaction than computer work.

When I am not helping students pay for their rent, I am usually updating the RIO website with new or updated information. I also began to work on the grades for the RIO Intensivkurs certificates. I set up the spreadsheet for the Mail Merge function.

Last night, Lineke, Amy, and I did dinner together. I had found this ridiculously good looking recipe for chicken taquitos. They were fantastic and we had some good bonding time.

Tonight, there was a scavenger hunt for the Student4Student people. Student4Student is an organization on campus where a German student is there as a guide and mentor for an international student. Many times, the German S4S will meet the international student to give them their key and will help show them the ropes of Reutlingen life.

During the day, Augusto, Tobi, and I set up the Wurm-Saal for the pizza party that was to follow the scavenger hunt. I ended up going for the pizza part, as I had class during the scavenger hunt part of the night. A few of the students helped me and Claudia clean up the Wurm-Saal a bit, but we are planning on coming back tomorrow morning to do most of the cleaning.

After the scavenger hunt/pizza night, the plan was to go check out a club downtown. We ended up having a good time just hanging out in Wurm-Haus and did not want to make the trek to get downtown tonight.

Instead, we went to the campus bar CaRe for a little bit. The music was not as terrible as it has been the last few times we have checked it out. It was nice to see Dawn, one of the PPP students who just moved into Wurm-Haus, interact with my international and Valpo friends. I think that she will fit in well here. :)
