This year is definitely a year of lasts for me. One of the lasts that I will miss the most is the college related crafting. One on my college jobs has been working as a resident assistant. If you don’t know what that means, I keep track of a floor full of freshman girls. That usually just means 15 to 20 well behaved studious people, but still. Each month I’m responsible for posting a bulletin board and name tags for each girl. That means once a month I am forced to be creative. Typically, I hate being forced to do something. But when it comes to crafting, I would enjoy it no matter what. Gun to my head, bomb about to detonate, three minutes to live, I will still love crafting.
As the year goes on, I have so many things I have to do. I can’t give my full attention to any one thing. So, I did my last set of name tags and my last bulletin board today under the stress of a five page paper deadline looming and an emcee gig to prepare for in two days. My name tags and board aren’t great, but I’m proud of them. And, I hope, they don’t look like a stressed-out-end-of-the-road-senior craft project. I hope they look like a your-resident-assistant-cares-for-you-and-in-three-months-will-be-wishing-she-was-back-making-name-tags craft project. After all, how many jobs out there pay you to craft? Seriously. Please tell me if you know of a job that will pay me to craft!!!
