Looking over my previous posts, I can’t believe that I haven’t talked more about being a Resident Advisor on North Campus; it takes up so much time and is such a big part of my Cornell life here in the Ithaca tundra, that I think it would be somewhat of a travesty if I didn’t talk about my floor a little.

With classes winding down, nostalgia is already starting to creep up on me as I see the freshmen packing up their things with their last finals of the year lurking around the corner.  I’ve been privileged to lord over the kingdom of 4th floor in Court Hall — lovingly called Balls Hall since the floor is the only all-dude floor on campus (Balch Hall is all girls … so Balls Hall — get it?).  Definitely been some crazy times on my floor, and I actually pledged Delta Phi with one of my own residents on 4-Court, along with 4 others that live in other parts of Court-Kay-Bauer.  Talk about reliving the freshmen experience (probably a little more than I wanted =D).

Anyways, my floor is ….. um ….. unique in every sense of the word.  Not overly involved or adventurous or suave in any shape or form, but most certainly one of the most loyal and united group of kids I’ve ever seen.  The culture of Balls Hall (aside from the smell of nasty feet and chicken wings — I guess that’s a bonus =/ ) is something all it’s own, and I will miss it next year.

So here’s to the guys on Balls Hall.  Thanks for the great times — you always could make me laugh.

(And thank you again Rishi for that horrible attempt at a finger mustache in the picture =P)
