you bring the house down
i hate my residential housing job here. it's just too hard. i am hitting the neutral swiss culture shock wall. i know i've complained before, but damn damn damn this job blows. i feel like a ping pong between my two superiors (and there should be 3 but one has been out on sick leave for 6 weeks) im a joke because we tell people and enforce the rules then our superiors do not discipline, and there is talk of another party that will just destroy my nice home and keep me up till 4 am when i have to work at 8.30am.
if i was in st. louis, i would have quit by now. i really would have. im tied not by contract, because they haven't had the ARCs or the study abroads sign anything, but i'm up shit creek without a paddle as far as finding alternative housing.
i do want to count my one blessing that my superiors do let me lay it out to them, and i can bitch to them about how i think they aren't doing a good job, and they take it, and don't hold it against me or get atitudy.
so enough of that. but that, mixed with studying for a midterm today (comparative politics, which is more like 'history of the united states constitution' aka 8th grade social studies class) another internship and a part time job they zap my energy and my spirit. i feel like a bitter zombie at night. it's like pms 30 days a month.
i had to take a break. i needed to break that nasty habbit. so i skirted responsibilities at my internship. took the afternoon off. finished a book, ate chocolate granola, and it helped. now i'm excited again. or at least relaxed.
i'm cooking soup with cous cous for the second night in a row. it's like porridge.
i'm going to go into town later just to buy a magazine and sift through it. tomorow i'm going to the library after work to check out either a) my friend leonard or b) chronicles of narnia.
i mean, my life could suck more
