Update on AW's dad as of today:
AW's father is in stable condition now, they are no longer planning to travel aboard for medical treatment at the moment.  He still have is regular bi-yearly checkup in Penang which he will go at a later time. 
Anyways, AW will be going to Singapore on Nov 10 for one night then travel back to US on Nov 11.

I spoke with a couple of people and found out this:

• Husker hall RM position is not possible since it is reserved for student affairs ppl
• There will be a new opening in a new dorm for sorta RD position but it is 30hrs/week. International students can't work more than 20hrs. This is a GA position.
• In order to pursue career path in resident director for residence life, i have to have resident assistant experiences.
• went to IA to find out whether i can do 30hrs/week. Found out i can do it through CPT provided if i can get a professor to back me up in class which will be included in memorandum of courses (means the class has to count toward graduation).

So it seemed i have to find out whether there is any class i can take to be part of CPT. During undergrad would be easier but grsd courses are diff. I emailed my prof and asked him already.

If this works out, i will apply for this position or a RA position. The key is to get that a class approved. Please pray for me! If this comes through, i'm going to be busy till i graduate. The best perk would be the living cost + meals are taken care of unless it is just RA position. In that case, i need to combine it with a GA position.

It seemed all this knowledge comes at the right time. Even i knew abt this in the first year, i won't be qualify to apply for CPT yet. If i apply it this year, it is not possible to squeeze 60+ hours plus classes. So this upcoming years are the best time. I'm nervous and scared of what may come. I believe and holding on to that faith. After all it is by faith, not by sight.

Ideally if i can do that RD position/GA position, it will be the best scenario. 30hrs is not as bad as 40 hrs since i was planning to take 12 credits. That's quite a lot if i have to work 40hrs.

Btw, AW's dad is sick so AW left for Indo (Nias) yesterday. She has arrived at Changi airport and will be flying to Indo in one hour time. Please keep her dad and family in prayers!!
