| So, I spoke to Megan for the first time in months a couple of weeks ago, and now it seems we have an apartment together for next semester! We're subleasing a place near the stadium from a friend of her's, so I guess I won't be in the dorms after all. I guess this is good, I'll be able to save money and focus more on my work-I just wish I had a car so I wouldn't have to rely on the busses all the time. i guess I'll get used to it though.
Does anyone have 2 tickets they can sell me for the basketball game on the Saturday before classes start? My dad and I really want to go. | | |
| So this last week has been a surprising mix of boring and...interesting. Boring because I still spend most of my time home alone wasting my life. It kills me not to have friends with me, I'm super lonely.
Interesting because I didn't even make it to the end of my second shift at Bath & Body Works before quitting. My second night there I had a closing shift and found out that I wouldn't be leaving until about 3am. When I heard that I decided I'd have to find another job, I dont' don't feel comfortable walking out to my car at 3 am in a big deserted parking lot, plus that's just ridiculous. But by that point the main manager had left so I decided not to bring it up till the next day, plus I wasn't about to just walk out on a shift. So 12:30 rolls around and I ask the assistant manager on duty when we were getting out. She said she didn't know so I told her that I didn't feel comfortable staying so late, and I couldn't stay later than 1am. I honestly felt this was reasonable, and I was perfectly nice about it. So this other girl who was acting like a manager but I don't think is said "you can't stay past then, or you don't want to?" In a very snippy tone. So I told her honestly that I didn't want to and didn't feel comfortable about it. She then went on to say "Well maybe this isn't the job for you then" and I admitted that it wasn't and I intended to leave. Still, being very nice. But after I said that the two of them got very mean and started to guilt trip me by saying that I'd be leaving the other girl alone to do the work which was bullshit-there was an overnight crew of 8 people already there! So at that point I said that I didn't appreciate the way the were talking to me and I was told to go home. The next morning the main manager called me and asked me to explain what happened. All I said was that i felt uncomfortable about the sistuation and I didn't feel I could go back into work and she told me "good, I don't think you should come back." So that was that. I felt pretty crappy, but I shouldn't-they are the assholes.
But no worries, I got a higher paying job today at BJs. Yay!

| Tomorrow will be officially one whole week that I've been in the US. Honestly? It's been pretty crappy. My sister pretty much hates my mother and has been a total bitch, not just to her but to me as well. It's incredibly difficult to live in this house. All of the problems that went away when I was in Australia are back in full force and it's hard to deal with. It's also been pretty dreary here weather-wise and it gets dark around 4:30. I seem to be lethargic a lot now but it's probably also due to getting over being jet-lagged.
But things might be looking up. I got a job at Bath & Body Works today and I have my orientation tomorrow. I won't be making much (my fault as I didn't put much down for what I was expecting on the application and they gave me that-I could have gotten higher) but at least I'll keep busy, and it doesn't seem like a terrible job.
Still haven't seen any friends yet though. I was supposed to see Shaughnessy for her BDay but my car broke down. I'm borrowing my father's at the moment but I'll need to replace my alternator-ugh, so expensive. Football game on Friday though, with Ron and his crew. I was asked if I wanted to play but I think thats a bad idea, I'll go watch.
I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire the day it came out. I hate to say it but I was less attracted to Harry in this one. Must be because he's getting older and I can't be as much of a pedo anymore. I've gotta say though that Cedric Diggory is adorable. Pretty good movie, but it felt a bit rushed. But hey, they had to fit a lot in.

| This is it guys, my last update from Australia. I could write a long sappy summary of my time here but I need to finish getting my stuff together before I get picked up in 2 hours. How about some lyrics from a song we all know and love....
I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can you hear, can you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover
Time travel, here I come | | |
