You have nothing in your box from me :) But my address is 28 Haven Terrace, Glo MA 10930 if you want to mail me something. Wish you much goodness in your job search. It's a hard transition to leave dorm life, and strange to explain to anyone who hasn't been through it as an RD, who doesn't understand why you didn't leave dorm life when everyone else did. I missed it like a fire for several years and there are still aspects of RD life I miss, things that can't be replaced in other kinds of work-- but the relief of leaving the dorm was serious and deep, too. Are you looking in Student Development/Student Personnel (from the sound of your interviews, that seems like the thing)? I hope you find joy and power in this transition. And hope and adventure, too.
