To all of my loyal readers (aka, my mom),
I apologize that I have not posted in a while. Midterms, spring break, Easter break... life happened.
I have a lot to say, but first off, I'd like to say that we indeed have wonderful staff, faculty and administrators here. Most of us feel that way, but it is easy to complain when we feel we've been wronged.
After spring break, some of my friends and I were in a car accident and had to go to the hospital, miss school, etc. We're all back now, so it's all good. But, the point of this blog is to say that Olaf treated us well. Roz, the dean of students for first-years, was with me at the hospital until 4:00 am when I told her that she really, could go home. The Dean's office also came in and unbunked and rearranged my friends' beds so they didn't have to worry about it when they got back. The Political Science department sent me a Get Well card. The Admissions office sent me a lovely floral arrangement. All of my professors have been willing to work with me on plans so I can graduate and finish my courses. The custodians and Res Life made sure the private bathroom by our pod is clean so that my friends who can't use the showers can use the bathtub. All in all, everyone has been fabulous.
Naturally, the students have been wonderful, but we know our friends are great.
It's crappy that it takes something scary to remind us how great life is sometimes. So, I wanted to make sure that I could use this opportunity to let everyone know that indeed, the Olaf community is great :) um ya ya.
xoxo,
Vanessa
