Hard at Work or Hardly Working? 6/16/2004
I'm at work right now...shows you how demanding my job is hehehe. The summer so far has not been going the way I planned. I originally wanted to stay up here for just summer session 1 because Henry was staying up for summer session 1 and I thought it'd be fun if we could hang out. We got into that fight the night before I came to Binghamton so that ended that. I was talking to Tanya last night and she told me to never, ever form my plans around a guy. After this summer, I've definitely learned that lesson.... Then I got this office job, which is a really great, non-stressful job that gives me free housing in an on-campus apartment, but I have to be here for the entire summer now. Plus I can't find a paying job. I've applied to so many places and haven't been called back by any. I had an interview at this telemarketing place where Maria works, and Big and Steph just got hired, but I haven't heard back from them yet...I'm getting nervous...I mean, I HATED my camp job but at least I got money. It's now the middle of June and I'm still depending on my parents for cash. It's been really stressing me out. The office job I have at Residential Life is pretty awesome...I have lots of free time since I seem to be finishing everything they give to me pretty quickly. Like today, after delivering paperwork to offices on campus, the secretary I work with told me that she had nothing for me to do and that I could do what I pleased. So I've been doing practice GRE questions and writing in OD...It's too bad I can't work here during the year as a paying job; they can only hire work-study kids, and I'm not applicable. The only good things are that I get to hang out with Big and Tanya over the summer until they leave for graduate school and that I don't have to deal with my siblings' bullshit. The apartment I have now is awesome...I have my own room, and my roommate isn't too terrible. I don't think she likes me much. She never talks to me, and always holes up in her room with her boyfriend... As for my social life...it kind of sucks bc I never have money to go out. Last week though, Tanya, Big and I went out for wings and this random Sig Ep boy comes up to me and tells me he knows me (and what sorority I'm in). He said he sees me all the time at the bars. I'm still deciding whether or not to take that as a compliment...but anyway I was talking to him for awhile at the bar and that was fun. Speaking of boys, I haven't heard from or talked to Henry. It's so odd the way it ended...I told him I didn't want to have random sex with him any more and he simply blocked me from his AIM. I mean damn...I meant that little to him??? It's a serious blow to my sense of self-worth but I try not to think about it...well, too much anyway. In more cheerful news, Marcia, one of my friends who's graduated, came up to visit. Big royally screwed up our plans, and instead of me, Marcia, and the Murray girls all going out to a movie, me and Marcia went to see Shrek 2 and the Murray girls went to Applebees. I love Big but she can be so disorganized and scatter-brained. Marcia's still here, house-sitting for her sister for the week so I'm hoping maybe a bunch of us will go out tonight. So that's been my summer so far...hoping it gets better...or I at least get a job....
