OK, honestly I'm not really lacking sleep to any grave extent... or to any real extent... But it feels like I am.
I haven't had time to even exercise to keep my body functioning properly.
I wake and either go to school to catch up on work or go to work and then go to school to catch up on work or I do the work after the school. All of my days are spent either standing (at work) or sitting (at school). Oye.
Let's see. I'm calling things off with the guy that I was so stoked on because, despite being older than me, he's very young. He's experimenting with drugs for the first time in his life, and this I only just learned, and this I am wholly uncomfortable with. pot would be fine, but extacy and harder drugs I no longer will tolerate in my partner. Friends can do whatever as long as they keep it a respectful distance from me, but partners may not. I am SO FUCKING TIRED of having drugs encircle my life. So yeah, he's out. I did give him a chance though. I told him that drug use, even experimental, is a deal breaker for me, and his response was that he felt that the extacy really opened up his mind. There you have it. He likes it and he wants to keep doing it. Not that I expect that he'll become a drug addict, but I know that the first step to addiction is experimentation... And when you like it... Meh, I'm just not wasting my time or emotional energy. Fuck drugs.
Anything else? I love school. I LOVE IT!! I have given more of myself to this schooling in three weeks than I ever gave to my undergrad (SHHH don't tell my profs!!). I get kicked out the library at closing time several times per week and the staff here at the Manhattan campus is getting quite familiar with my face (the Manhattan "campus" isn't really a campus so much as a seven story building, but they still call it a campus... but it's a building). But I do enjoy it and I think it might even challenge me a bit... *maybe*
My apartment is lovely except that the sink has been backing up lately and several attempts to get the landlord to bring in a plumber have failed. If within another week she has not done anything about it then I am going to start looking for a new place, which i DO NOT want to have to do, but I will. Other people's sink... matter... is oozing into my sink and even overflowing onto the counter while I'm gone, and in the past two days it has gone onto the floor, and into the cupboards below. It's so unbelievably unsanitary that I don't even know what to think. I have stopped trying to clean it up because it seems to happen again each day like clock work, and, of course, it always happens while I am gone.
So yeah, if she doesn't get her shit together then I have a perfectly legal reason for breaking my lease. Unclean living conditions are not something that anyone has to deal with. I guess I had better start photographing it each night. But I'm really just hoping that she'll take care of it. Overall I really enjoy the situation... So many aspects of the current set up are so perfect for me... I don't want NYC housemates!!
Anyway, that's all for now. Peace, my lovies.
