The Eight Hours of Check-In

After much preparation and anticipation by housing staff, the day we have all been waiting for finally arrived; Check-In (and all its chaotic glory)! The beautiful Vista de las Montañas and Vista de la Luna (Luntañas as we lovingly call it) is now filled with the sounds of residents settling in and music blasting from the annual Bronco Fusion event to kick off the start of the academic year. Although it was a long day, my encouraging staff along with the high-energy level of the residents kept me going. This calls for a special blog entry (with a familiar holiday tune) in order to immortalize this monumental day!

During the first hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
A resident with the wrong key

During the second hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Two packs of muffins (Thanks Chelsea for baking us breakfast!)
And a resident with the wrong key

During the third hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key

During the fourth hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Four shocked roommates
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key

During the fifth hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Five FDAs! (Front Desk Assistants)
Four shocked roommates
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key

During the sixth hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Six RAs greeting
Five FDAs!
Four shocked roommates
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key

During the seventh hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Seven families moving
Six RAs greeting
Five FDAs!
Four shocked roommates
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key

During the eighth hour of check-in Luntañas gave to me
Eight students yawning
Seven families moving
Six RAs greeting
Five FDAs!
Four shocked roommates
Three orange bins
Two packs of muffins
And a resident with the wrong key
