no clue what to call this...whatever :)
Hey, loyal readers. No clue who I'm addressing there, but you know who you are. Bet you're all dying to know what's up with me. Well, I slept really well after my night class for the first time. Probably because I taught it on no sleep. Really have to stop making trips to Richmond at odd hours. Still, it was fun if totally random of me. I got to meet jojo_mojo and I think it went pretty well. (If it didn't, I guess I'll find out eventually. In any case, I got some beer and a cool mix CD :)).
Classes are going sort of well. But I just can't bring myself to get too excited about that. I just talked to Annie for about an hour and a half about the stalker problem she's having. She wanted me to take over a class for her tonight, but I already had plans for the evening. Plus, I said that I think she needs to talk to the dean and the campus police, since they haven't done enough to solve the problem. She's been having coworkers (including me one time) drive her home after her night class and apparently, cars have still been following her, sometimes from different directions. Plus, she is pretty sure she saw who at least one of the stalkers is: a former student of hers who was expelled for assaulting another student in her class last semester. So it's continuing, and the school hasn't arranged any alternate transportation for her. Now she can't sleep at night and is so afraid that she's bursting into tears apparently. Yes, she's a very sensitive person, and it's possible that nothing would happen, but it's not 100% certain. I don't see why the school is taking these chances. It just reinforces my own decision to leave; I also had a student who was expelled for bad behavior last semester and if she started threatening or following me, I hate to think this is how the situation would be handled--in other words, not handled.
On a positive note, I'm feeling good about poly after reading most of The Ethical Slut and thinking about my own experiences lately. Of course, it could just be working as none of the people I have been with lately knows me well enough or long enough to care who I am with. But I think it's going to work for me, whatever other people think. So that's cool.
Going to Mom's tonight to do laundry, eat and get some work done. I'll probably also discuss the state of our global society, since it's been on my mind today. No need to get into that in this entry...we'd be here forever.
*HUGS* to everyone.
