So the New Year as begun and I find myself back at work. I'm not looking forward to having the students move back into the hall, all the parking is going to be gone and it will be so much louder. Most of them had very low GPAs this semester so hopefully everyone has finally gotten the hang of this whole college thing and will be much better about study vs. party habits.
I'm obsessing over my summer internship application. Today was the deadline to put my resume on their website. I had a friend literally drag me from the computer because I kept compulsively changing things. I've heard the program isn't very organized around this time of year so I'm concerned that I've missed a step. I'm sure it will work out in the end.

I've been running around calling everyone all night to look at the snow, most people aren't really that angry about being called at 4:30 am. ESPECIALLY SINCE I OFFER PROMISES OF SNOW. It hasn't snowed in Baton Rouge since ... 2005, 2004 I think, and even then it was bullshit snow that didn't even stay on the ground. We've got a pretty decent thick layer going on, it's freaking AMAZING.
One of my RA's called me this morning and was "all it's snowing come play with me!" So I did and it was awesome. What is also awesome is that my finals are over! My boss and I went riding around campus and apparently LSU was made for the snow becuase it is gorgeous.
Alright, off to hunt down more people to tell.
SNOW!!

Work sent me home in tears tonight. I swear, if I hear "That's not how we did it last year," one more time I am going to punch someone in the twat. Seriously, I wasn't hear last year, but I know for a fact that a lot of rules were not followed. So telling me you didn't do something last year is not a valid arguement. At all.

Last week was a pretty awful week. Working in a Res Hall was probably an insane idea. My boss was out of town last weekend which meant that I was in charge of the building. Oh, how awesome for me. The week started off pretty horrible. Woke up to a call from my boss' boss telling me that the boys on the second floor had completely vandalized it and that I needed to have a meeting with them that night. Someone lost their room key and we didn't have a spare key so I had to get the locks changed. Apparently in order to get the locks changed I had to turn in the old keys. Wow, how awesome, I'm getting locks changed because I don't have the keys I need.
Didn't get any of my homework done because I was fooling with random work craziness, go to class only to find out all the things I didn't read, I should have. Come home set up a meeting to talk to my RAs about the vandqlism, hear a commotion outside only to find a resident collapsed on the floor crying in obvious pain and no one is calling the cops. Have to deal with that while at the same time trying to inform my RAs what they need to talk about in their floor meeting. Get that done, then I have to conduct a staff meeting by myself. my day started at 9 am on a bad note and ended at 10:15 pm on a bad note.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were all spent desperately trying to catch up on homework that I wasn't able to get done on Monday. Tuesday was awful because I got up at 6 am to write a paper and then didn't get a chance to vote until 7:55 pm. And I had to drive an hour (because I'm an idiot and didn't change my vote area) to vote and barely made it even then.
This week is much better though. Got to catch up with friends. Got to hang out and bond with my graduate school cohort and generally relax. I totally have the end of semester blues and desperately need to get out of that funk so that I can finish off my first semester of grad school on a positive note.

Graduate School is hard. =(
My boss went on vacation and left me in charge of the building. Six Hundred 18 year old students bored out of their minds. How fun for me. I had to call the police every night and EMS twice while my boss was gone (for five days!). Now he's back, and nothing has happened. Not one thing. I'm so amazingly unhappy with this. It's a good thing he's freaking awesome, otherwise we'd have words.
My friends bought Spore. I feel bad for breaking into their apartment to play it. I'm sure this is one of the signs of having a serious problem. It's not like I steal the computer or anything. I stay there to play.

Go Away, Gustav. You are starting to annoy me. You're totally freaking out the people I live with. Because of you one of my friends is in tears from horrible Katrina memories. You Jerk.

I start graduate school August 25. I'm quite nervous. My new job at Residential LIfe starts this friday and I'm even more nervous. I've been in and out of the department for at least six years. Almost everyone knows who I am. This is both good and bad. I've made some good friends and of course some bitter enemies. My new boss has worked with me before, but I don't think he's realized just how amazingly awkward I really am. Oh how fun this will be. People make me nervous and sort of terrify me, and I'm going into a profession where I have to be more social than I'm able. This is why the comic store was so great. Everyone there was awkward, I fit in so well.

Spent the holidays knitting and reading comics. Yanno, the usual. I'm currently looking for a Wii Console and damn, those things are impossible to find. I've called every store I can think of and no one has one. Finally the very last store was much nicer than everyone else had been and told me when to call back to see if they had any.
I'm sure they've been getting calls non stop about finding a wii, so I'm sure they're sick of saying they're sold out. Best buy even has on its recording that they're sold out, and that comes on before they even tell you the times they're open. So I understand the frustration, but geeze, be a little nicer guys.
Amy's scarf is almost done. It's cute.
I'm going on a hard core diet becuase erin's stupid bridesmaid dress doesn't fit. All this wedding hoopla and buying dresses seven months before the wedding is totally lame. Never again I say. Never again.

I haven't posted to this journal. I haven't felt the need to, which is weird. You should have a journal to express your thoughts and feelings, not becuase you want other people to read them. Yet, since I'm hiding from all my real life friends I haven't felt the desire to post on this one. How bizarre.
I'm weirdly attached to my other ones. I should delete them, they're just taking up space but for some reason I can't let go.
Either way I have two test tomorrow. I should be studying for those. Biology is lame.
There was a shooting up the road last week. Two people died. If they had run 1 block farther they would have been in my apartment complex. My grandmother is freaking out. I feel validated. This area scares the living shit out of me. But my neighbors are some of the most amazing people ever. I lived in the dorms for two years and I didn't know my neighbors this well.
Jonah asked me to Fu sit (fu is pretty much the dumbest/goofiest dog ever) earlier. Then about three hours later Sherea stopped by to ask me where I got my angry turkerys that I hung up. So I gave her the extra that I had printed out. The only reason I even decorated for Thanksgiving was because Arlice wanted me to. Now the whole complex is going to have pictures of angry turkeys saying "Eat more Beef". I live across the way from my two best friends from childhood, but I see my new neighbors three times as often as I see my friends.
