In the midst of travel season, I awoke with a start at 2:00 AM.\u00a0 A bright red light was flashing in my room and an alarm was blaring in the most annoying way possible.\u00a0 Suddenly, I realized that it was the fire alarm going off and quickly grabbed some shoes, my rental car\u2019s keys and evacuated my hotel room.\u00a0 There was indeed a fire in my hotel during the early hours of that October morning and I spent the better part of my coveted sleeping time sitting in one of the hotel\u2019s many ballrooms.\u00a0 During those groggy three hours between two o\u2019clock and five o\u2019clock in the morning, I met two other women who just happened to be college admissions counselors as well.\u00a0 After comparing notes from \u201cthe road\u201d and discussing our various travel territories and office responsibilities, I walked back to my now second hotel room (water damage soaked my first) with some fresh ideas about how to improve how I coordinate my respective programs here at Holy Cross.\u00a0 Needless to say, those three hours were not spent in vain and I was fortunate to come away with a new set of goals for doing my job better than ever before.<\/p>\n
