First off, let me say you did well in how you handled the situation.
Most people would have let the fatigue get them and blown up.

Second, as an R.A. you're doing something that you should be proud of. You're being a confident individual who your 'charges' will notice. And while you might get some stick, eventually the worthwhile people will respect you for it.

You're doing well, you're a great guy and I think everyone on the board is proud of you.


For what it's worth, when Diane was Conference assistant last summer I was kilted around campus with her during a high school football camp for about 2000 13-16 year old boys.
And only a hand-full of them thought the kilt was cool.
