I took over our lovely receptionist Becky’s evening work hours for fun.  It is about 7 hours a week to sit at the front desk in admissions and tell all of you students where to go (directionally speaking). 

Just as Becky was about to leave for the day, she asked me if I would want to file her papers.  Honestly?! Do I want to file?  NO!  So rather than look disappointed, she then said, “YAY! Now I have something to do tomorrow!”

Odd.  A receptionist who likes to file.  HAHA.

 So then, she looked very serious and told me something I had to do by the end of the night.  “There is a bag of pens to my left.  Over 75 Iowa Western logo’d pens.  I was to take them out, one by one, and write with them.  Draw a circle on a page.  Then, put it in a rubber band.  After that, put the rubber band in the drawer by the other pens.”

Wait. 

“Actually, don’t put them in the drawer.  Put them back in the bag.”  It was as if that was the most important set of directions I received all day.  So here I am, taking a break from an exhausting four minutes of pen testing to write to you. 

I guess college isn’t always about doing impressive work.  Sometimes it is an endurance test.
