Day of Reckoning

I met one of my future residents last night. Today I met another resident. It was pretty weird, considering I had been living in isolation (or at least with random people) for the last few weeks, so interaction with actual residents was kind of weird. We also did room checks and welcome kits today, which was a tiring task. As I walked through the halls of empty rooms, I realized that in about 12 hours, all the rooms would be packed full of fresh and energetic freshman, all excited about college and being away from home. EW! What the hell am I doing here?! How will I be able to live with freshman again, especially now that I am not one!? I also ran into about five people in the course of the day who were in my CalSO groups over the summer. "Hey Rohit! How's it going?" For the most part, I didn't even remember their names. The faces were vaguely familiar, but that's about it. It's probably only going to get worse. I did a quick survey of all my resident's names, and none ring a bell from CalSO, but what's worse is that some probably were in my group or in my co-facs and I have no idea, so when I meet them, they will know me and I won't know them.
