The new CSA office is up and running….
Â
As I sit here and write this, I can hear staff, students, ex student and friends of CSA trying desperately hard to crack Rock Band in the next room. The next room being the new student lounge. By the sounds of the last celebration, they must be improving. They must be more confident too because now they’re stepping up to sing. At the moment Esteban is taking the reins. he sounds…ok. Uh oh, they must be slipping, I just heard a chorus of ‘boos’ pour out of the room.  I wonder how good they are by now considering it is 5.45pm and four of them have been going since about twelve this afternoon. They show no signs of slowing down either. The thing is is though, they don’t have to. I’m sure there will be at least one CSA staff member playing with them until god knows what time. That staff member may or may not be me but it will most likely be Jaede. He’s the best player at every single Wii game ever invented. Fact.
There are at least three students utilising the study area. Good students. I guess there will be some CSA students who will return home and impress their family and friends with their amazing grasp of the Chinese language, and others that will have succeeded in completing a virtual rock tour.
The office is buzzing now. It’s great. There are students popping in and out to say hello, hangout, study, raid the drinks fridge. I’m very happy as this is the type of of environment we wanted to create and by the looks of it, we’ve achieve what we set out to do. Good work team.
Ok, I’m too distracted by the amazing noise coming from the room next door. I can’t write anymore. I’m of to join the band…..
