I have decided to apply for resident director at my college. For the past year, I have been a resident adviser. For the most part, I really enjoyed by experience. I love being a resident adviser, and I think I'll love being a resident director.

It certainly hasn't been a bed or roses this year, though. There have been a lot of thefts of my residence hall this semester. I was actually robbed twice, as well as one of my residents. Then there has been the loud noises in the middle of the night, boys sneaking into the dorms, nasty bathrooms that took forever to get cleaned, a hurricane, someone going into the bathroom and clogging all the sinks so water could run freely onto the floor... But aside from all of that, it's been a nice year. And really, all of that is to be expected in ANY kind of dorm life.

But while I hope to be resident director, I dread the next couple of weeks. There are two of us applying for the resident director for the ladies. We would both make good resident directors. I have the advantage. I have been an RA for one year; she has been an RA for six months. I have a higher GPA. While she has more work experience, I have done more volunteer/church activities and I'm active around the college. I love her to death and I won't be real bitter if she gets it, but I want the job. I have to say that I've never wanted anything this bad before. But I feel like I'm going to screw up during the interview or during one of the evaluations and they're going to give it to the other candidate. And... I just don't know how I'm going to react to that. I know I'll eventually get over it, but this is something that I really want.

*sigh*

I should stop worrying and start this cover letter...
