Future Week 2

Week number two started out with a game night after dinner, which when I say consisted of a thousand pizzas, I mean people were able to take full pies up to their room. After dinner before the event Pradhan, K, David, and I played Uno. The hand I was dealt was not the most beneficial. We played this through the night and still I have no idea how we were able to sustain one game for two hours. I did not end up the winner, but I was able to play apples to apples with some of our residents while the others played the most joyous game of Life I had ever seen. While we were playing, some of our residents were having trouble with some historical figures and words. I was glad that they were able to learn something new through the game.The night ended with a questionable game of twister, which is just an awkward game to begin with.

On Tuesday we went to Funplex, where I sat idle by watching my friends go kart since my wrist was still banged up and I was advised not to drive or put pressure on it, and as these go karts like all others have no power steering, they were a no. I ended up sitting and watching families play mini golf for a long while, but I was able to drive the bumper boats which Pradhan and Traun took to mean getting everyone wet with the water gun party. What really set this particular night apart was the second prank where Pradhan and I took our winnings from the arcade together to get mini army men and robots to create an epic battle on K's desk. We wanted to have more army men but the woman behind the counter, and by woman I mean pissy high school student, would not allow us to go past the 20 maximum. So whatever, the next day I woke to an email that explained that an epic battle went on, needless to say, K has a wonderful sense of humor. The next time I was in the office, I saw that the paratrooper that I made using a long marshmallow skewer and the plastic bag the toys came in was still there. She said it was too good to take down. 

On Wednesday, we hosted a movie night with plenty of refreshments. We were able to use the club room in our new building so the movie was nice and big projected on the wall. We watched Madea's Witness Protection, or as I like to call it: Tyler Perry has conversations with himself, Oh and Denise Richards is here too. The movie was dumb, but our residents really enjoyed themselves. They all were able to have seconds on candy and I was able to snag an extra Kool-aid or two. When we asked them what they wanted to do, they all said that they wanted to hangout and chill. So that is what we did, we chilled, watched a ridiculous 2 hour movie and ate our weight in candy.

 On Thursday, we celebrated my Grandfather's 75th birthday, which meant I was spending some time with my family and eating cake. My grandfather got himself a gift, a new car. Which when we all went out to crowd around and look at the shiny new toy, all of my younger cousins got in the backseat. Just to try it out. I was able to hitch a ride back to the college with them and it was a lovely car, so I hope beyond hopes that he likes his purchase.

The next night I was dying for some chicken wings and my girlfriend Alexis was dying to go to a bar and dance, so we went out to PJ's. The wings were divine, and I wish I had more because sitting here writing about them makes me want to eat them. My mouth is watering. I am a chubby person, this is how we do. The DJs at the bar were these two skinny boys who loved to jump up and down. They switched off between rap and techno music so it was hilarious to see how the people dancing would shift each time the song changed. Alexis and I stayed strong though, dancing through both types of music. We made it. Another week down.

FUTURE WEEK 1

Prank Number 1: I don't believe there is any staff as wonderful as my own which doesn't have a prankster or a team of prank masters in their midst. Pradhan, my Future Scholars cohort, is this for us. This installment to his long list of ridiculousness I have entitled Modern Art. While putting away the fire pits from out kick off s'more's night, Pradhan, David, and I crated this masterpiece out of pipe cleaners and a chair. Eventually this escalated to include a pillow propping the chair, a red solo cup taped to the seat, and a lamp to highlight the genius. The next day this was taken down by our supervisor, and it was no more.

Monday, is when we put on our outside activities and this week we decided on badminton. While putting up the cheap net, we had some troubles and it snapped in several places. It then barely stood straight and we were very excited that it worked. While playing the residents pulled out a volleyball and began to play that as well. The park behind the reshall was full of fireflies and it was whimsical, but it was also full of mosquitoes and I was eaten alive. The other summer RA's in charge of the main building hosted a Minute to Win it program where residents competed with the game show events, and just to let you know, Pradhan and I can empty a whole tissue box with one hand in one minute. So, take that universe!

Tuesdays we go out with the Future Scholar's to off campus trips. We went roller skating at Millennium Skate World, and I am terrible. So terrible, I fell and sprained my wrist, but at least I looked cute. I wore a romper and knee socks because I'm a cool seventies chick, but alas, I was in horrible pain but at least Pradhan is a doctor, so he took care of me. He got me ice from the kitchen, and stood in line for me to get me a giant soda. I then won myself a handful of rubber duckies, one of which was a pirate, and the other which looked like a scary alien. With the tickets we won, Pradhan and I split it up so that I was able to get a wicked ship temp tattoo, and he a tiny finger skateboard.

Saturday, my boss and I in the morning went into the city for the Rittenhouse Farmer's market where I purchased another succulence from 4mula which I will do a personal post on soon. My booss, K, walked around looking for peaches and ended up with a $15 bottle of wine. After perusing trough the tents, I suggested getting some lunch from Chipotle and making a quick stop into Papersource. These pugs were adorable so I took a photo to send to Dan, my pug lover extraordinaire and I ended up purchasing a perfect agenda. It is an August to December 2014 agenda so I will not be able to start using it for another two weeks, but the anal retentive bits of me are very excited. After we parted ways, I went into the new Ulta and on a whim had my eyebrows done at the benefit counter. I then purchased some small sizes of benefit's Porefessional and That Gal face primers. I love benefit cosmetics and I am excited to try those out.

Who the hell

Hello, I am Sean and I have an affinity for red lipstick.

I am twenty one, a senior theatre student at Rutgers University. I will be working resident assistant in the undergraduate building for my second year. Additionally, I am the Editor in Chief of the school’s paper, and a tour guide.

I love stickers, video games, and bubble baths. I am a nowhereman with roots on both coasts. I have been acting since I was young and have directed some pieces at my university. I have recently worked with Seaside Rep professionally as a costume assistant feeding my love of costuming and makeup. The next year I hope to find a place in the theatre world for what I have to offer.

While watching a marathon of Parks and Recreation after a previous marathon of 30 rock, I realized I can put my life into terms of Leslie Knope and Liz Lemon. I am messy, but a perfectionist; I like to watch television, and one day hope to be living in an apartment with plenty of up-cycled knick knacks and enough shelves for my books.

My best friend once described my family as a cartoon, and said that there was no one more animated than me; which was the most flattering thing anyone has said. She is also the same person who sent me a pirate coloring book in the mail so I would be amiss to not say that she is my soul mate.

This blog will be me doing things which will include but is not limited to: Reslife, crafting, random makeup happenings, theatre angst, adventures, crappy cell phone pictures, swashbuckling sword fights, thrift stores, and food; the musings of a college student trying to have it all.

Currently, I am living on campus and working as a Resident Assistant for Rutgers Future Scholars, a program where middle school to high school students from Rutgers University cities  work towards a college education. I am one of two campus RA's who supervise a small group of 17 year olds who have opted to live on campus during their summer session. This has to be one of the best jobs one could have. My duties are mostly having fun, and making sure the residents are also having fun. We have programs every night, and I am off on the weekends.

Recently, I've been spending a lot of time with my new boss, and with the way she has been handling business and the way she has been personally wonderful, I have the highest of hopes that she will be an excellent boss and a good friend. I am looking forward to the working with her, as I will have many staff meetings and et ceretas with her and I am glad to get along with her so well.

I have a lot to catch up on so the next couple posts will be from the last two weeks, but from hence forth I hope to keep up with the happenings that occur in my life. I have my tumblr linked on the sidebar if you would like to visit me there as well.
