So it's been a pretty eventful week. Being somewhat indirectly involved with the whole GSB election-scandal thing that the Daily pretty much misconstrued, preparing a Health/Wellness Presentation for IRHA tonight, doing a speaker introduction for Cyclone Aide training, and having pretty much half the class and some Cyclone Aides shadow my tour today only to end up with the guy who was supposed to pick us up at Gerdin forgetting about us, and heading to Madrid, IA tomorrow after ISCORE for a Cyclone Aide retreat. I also found out I'm a Community Advisor for Helser next year, so that's going to be interesting when August comes around with Destination Iowa State/Fall Move-In and training. Overall this week has been like a marathon and I definitely look forward to the Cyclone Aide retreat and getting to have fun.
In class we talked a bit about metacognition. Metacognition is very important when trying to avoid biases and avoiding Fundamental Attribution Error (one of my favorite phrases lately). I think it's something I actually started a bit earlier this semester, and even during Cyclone Aide training today we talked about a similiar idea. It's kind of interesting that a lot of my training actually ends up overlapping, but I guess it goes to show that it's very important when working with students.
I think that's all I have for now. ISCORE is coming up tomorrow so I will probably do a longer entry for that. Thanks to everybody who came on my campus tour today, especially with as chaotic as everything was today!

Basically somebody accidentally sent an endorsement e-mail after the time designated by the Election Commission and some people got in trouble for it and the ISU daily made a big deal about it, even though it was a genuine mistake and the Daily blew it way out of proportion. I was part of the endorsement and knew pretty much everybody involved with it, but luckily things are cooling down now.
