Well I had my first two days on the job and so far I LOVE it. It is so interesting, it is a very urban campus unlike any other I have ever seen but perhaps has one of the most friendly work environments I have ever been in. The faculty, administrators, and staff really treat each other like equal. The maintenance crew and faculty knew my name and that I was starting this week so many of them have come by to welcome me to New School and ask if there is anything they can do for me.
I share an office with Melissa who is extremely nice. Yesterday when we were leaving for the day we both said we had a very good feeling about how the three of us (Melissa, Priscilla(our supervisor), and myself) are going to work together. Melissa and I are about the same age and both enjoy musical theater so Priscilla offered to buy us a stereo for the office since there is a partition between our desks and we both have our computer radios on low right now.
From the few students that have trickled in, I know that I will have my work cut out for me. They are fantastic, creative, and very respectful but it is such a competitive program that you know most students are stressed beyond belief. But I am looking forward to the advising, and the outreach programing. This week I am working on programs for orientation.
There may soon be an apartment announcement to make but I don't want to jinx myself. So more to follow soon.
