T.G.I. Friday.
I e-mailed my professor, asking him for suggestions and literature recommendations (I’ll need to find a good library). This is frustrating. I spent half of the morning filing some papers. Roberto mentioned that the new management wants to give the interns more tasks, assign them with projects, swap them from department to department… So I hope I might get some real work soon. On the other hand, I wonder if I’ll have the time to write my thesis if I’m so busy with stuff at work.
I didn’t sleep too well last night, I couldn’t fall asleep, the fans under my window (whatever they are) were louder than usual, and when I finally did fall asleep, I dreamed of Johnny crying, I think. Some of the Germans here are going out to Wild Wings, which is like a bar/pub in Spartanburg, I’ve been told that they have live music and karaoke... I’m not sure if I want to go. I’m tired, my back hurts and I’d like to lay down with a book and read, or maybe write. Though I’d like to try the karaoke. XD I’ll have to ask how long they want to stay out. It’s sort of annoying that the Germans all seem to have the attitude “well, Americans are dumb, we don’t hang out with them”. Personally, I would like to make local friends. The problem is - WHERE. Where should I meet new people? I don’t think that I would have a lot to say to people who get wasted in a bar… I should really find a library, plus Anna2 and I wanted to join some fitness club (I want aerobics/dance lessons, she probably wants some real work out), so maybe I might meet some nice people there.
I want to go skating so badly. Or I wish I could dance at least, but I can’t dance in the living room anymore now that the girls are here, and there’s not enough room in my room.
Mom keeps sending me text messages which are starting to bug me… I mean, many of them are nice and I like knowing what they’re up to, etc., but I don’t need her to repeat every time that she’s proud of me and that I’ll manage everything blah blah. I don’t also need her to tell me to try to ask my boss about some projects or to come up with something that would be useful for both the company and me - as if that was so easy. But I know she means it good.
I don’t know what we’re doing this weekend… Oliver wants to go hiking on Saturday, we might join him if the weather is good (i.e. me & the Annas). Then on Sunday we want to go shopping, because Anna1 and I need clothes. Valentina keeps asking me if I want to go to church with them, and the other Russian woman gave me the cell phone number of her son (who is a college student), telling me that he’d take me to youth group or something. That might be fun, meeting some young Christian people would be good, but I’m not sure if I have the guts to call a guy I don’t even know, lol. I think I’ll go visit them in the production plant today and give them my phone number so they can call me - I would have done that yesterday, but I don’t remember my number. XD
