pull your hair, claire
I tried to quit Xpect but the manager convinced me to stay. She said I am one of the best people there, and that I could adjust my schedule. I don't fit in at there. I'm not a slacker, and I have a good work ethic. If I overcharge someone, I tell him I made a mistake. I am white; almost everyone else is Puerto Rican or black. I'm not "Ma", "Mamacita", or "Yo" - my name is Claire. Even the adults are disrespectful and unfriendly.
Ryan is [possibly] coming over tomorrow night. I haven't seen him in a long time so it is sure to be an interesting time. He makes every excuse in the world not to - too far to drive, too weird, need to take a nap, etc. I'm not sure what to expect.
I start a course at Yale next week. I was hoping to take Russian but all the language classes are in the morning. I still haven't decided what to take: help?
