Quick update time!
I just don't have a lot that's interesting to say, and what's interesting isn't something I can really discuss on a public/semi-public forum. School is three classes a week: one PoliSci course that's got a knowledgeable but INTENSELY obnoxious professor and is making me relearn the fine art of shutting up so I can just get through this, one class which is complete and utter bullshit ("Interpersonal Communication...
....A path to empowerment!" is the title of the syllabus. Verbatim. With that punctuation. In Font Effects, so that the words will POP!) and conducted by a "professor" who doesn't know crap and who is using this as the All About Me show, and one class that is actually interesting and educational and taught by a competent instructor who treads the line between friendly and authoritative without a hitch. And it's letting me finally learn the phonetic alphabet! Yay!
Still working two jobs- even with all the bruises, exhaustion, and supervisor-facilitated injury going on at the haunted house one, I'm still enjoying it. Go figure. I think it helps that there are some cool people who are working with me, which always helps with the lousy aspects of any job. It comes with some very fun little perks for the month that I'm working there, like last night's activity...
Free indoor skydiving! Wheeee! I made silly faces and felt all tingly on my entire front surface area and developed a single teeny dreadlock from the bit of hair that escaped the braid and the helmet, and it was totally fun. And then there was board games at a bar- wasn't drinking and wasn't complaining, but I did stay out too late- and many, MANY instances of "hey, so it's just you and me now, [Isa], so I was wondering if you had any advice on [X thing]?" [X thing], by the way was almost exactly the same problem for each of the secretive three people I was out with. Oh, kids, this is why we discuss our problems with each other. ::headdesk:: But despite the increasing level of drunkenness over the course of the evening- and thus awkward moments and things I'm fairly sure people didn't mean to reveal- I hope I helped at least a little. And if not... well, I'll know soon enough, I suppose.
But still. OMG I FLEW.
