SAACURH
SAACURH (the South Atlantic Association of College and Residence Halls) was awesome. I usually don't talk about stuff like this on here, but for this conference I'm going to have to make an exception.
SAACURH was one of those things I would never have set foot in when I was in high school. There was a whole lot of "pep" there that would have sent me running. Now, it's just part of the game. I spent the weekend showing more school spirit than I knew I had. And I loved every minute of it.
Seeing people from all across the Southeast (SAACURH is made up of everything south of KY and NC, including Mississippi and Lousiana) all there for the same thing was pretty amazing. I hadn't really reflected on what a larger whole my little Residential College Association is part of. And yes, Murray State is unique with our attempt to bring everyone together under the Harry-Potter system, but that doesn't mean we don't have the same problems as those who don't.
I went to five sessions of around 10 people each, mixed and mingled socially, and ended up expanding the massive facebook list a little further. I got to know my RCA people better, and a few MSU friends as well.
In short, I'm totally behind on everything now, but it was worth every minute.
Pictures are coming soon, I think. I need to update my flickr to get more on here.
