I've told you about the event SKB well the other big event that Rockhurst holds in the spring is the Science Olympid. Unlike SKB which is a game show like event, Sceince Olympid (SO) is a bunch of individual events that get scored and totaled and the school that does the best in the most events wins over all. Although in every event 1-5 place gets an medal or ribbion. This year like every other year SO was held not at Rockhurst but at Penn Valley Community College. I did the same I had been doing with SKB I was the Adminstrative Assistent, and like with this years SKB I was on my own becuase my boss was still out recoving from minor brian surgery. The issues with holding SO at Penn Valley is that none of our staff know anything about Penn Valley and the one person on the committe for SO works there and pertty does the site setup on his own, this makes it hard when things go wrong. As with any complex setup something always goes wrong, most the time we its something simple, but with SO it was rooms, people, and the lack of us being able to help or fix the issues becuase we didn't know the campus or security. But as long as the students have a good time its worth the hassel. And they did so I guess I shouldn't complain about it to much.
Some good news though, my boss Kim got to come back the monday right after SO. She still has some issues with her speach but she is back to being active and she doesn't look so sickly. Which is good becuase she has 2 childern and house hold to run. Plus, I need to get more focused on what I'm going to do after graduation. She was missed by most of the staff, but she feels that when she was gone they have opposed some news rules that she will have to adapt to, but then they may not last since she is back.
