Record Store Day 2011
You could probably tell from my last blog I was pretty excited for this. Got up early, waited for a few friends, and we headed to the local independent record store, Cheap Thrills Records. This was my second RSD and their first. The store had a special 20% off everything in the store except for the special Record Store Day items. That included CDs, vinyl records, shirts, movies, and video games. I opted out for just CDs and walked away with about nine of them for $60, including a QotSA single (Sick, Sick, Sick) and a poster for free.(I tried to add a gallery here, but college internet seems to be making that very slow, just look through my images if you're really curious about what I got)
The only RSD exclusive I picked up was a sampler for a Jimi Hendrix tribute album, with Cee Lo Green, Carlos Santana, and one other artist I can't remember off the top of my head. This sort of leads to my next topic.
Resident Assistant Job: The Results
After a couple of months, I finally found out if I got the RA job I've been talking about for a while now. I got the letter a few weeks ago, and I did not get the job. I wasn't too down about it, the whole process was pretty fun, and I met quite a few new people and even learned a little about myself. However, I could return the letter they sent me and tell them to keep my stuff on file in case someone couldn't come back for whatever reason.
Now you may be asking "Well, how does a Jimi Hendrix tribute sampler come into play here?" Well, let me tell you. One of the Resident Directors is big on music, he's in about three or four bands and saw me wearing a Record Store Day shirt a while back. He went to another local record store that day and got a pretty decent haul himself, but did not get the Hendrix CD, so I was going to let him borrow it. So he came up to my room tonight to get it from me and then asked if he could come in to talk to me about something and I said sure.
He asked me if I was still interested in being an RA, because an unexpected opening in one of the dorms came up. I accepted, and my summer is cut down by one week, but I will be an RA next semester. The reason why the opening happened? One of the buildings will be making one floor into a male floor. The building is coed.
I kid, I kid.
That's really all I got for now. Thank you for reading!
