Transition

Summer classes ended this week. I have next week off, and then school starts up again the following Tuesday (after Labor Day). And once school starts I will be "working" part time as a grad assistant.

Tomorrow I pick up the keys and we spend the weekend moving. So, a lot of stairs again. The new place is on the second floor, with my room being the third floor. Most of the furniture only needs to go up one flight, though.

Moving

Signed a new lease. Nicer place. More expensive...
Nauber has not actually been to see it, yet, and is already unhappy with it. We shall see how things work out.

You're a Workin' Girl Now

You may not recognize the Anna Madrigal quote used for the subject line, but I got the details of my assignment. It is a 1/4 assistantship (meaning 4.5 hours per week at about $21 per hour, plus tuition waiver and 1/4 approx discount on fees and insurance) with one of the marketing professors in the College of Management. He is from China and has some way to go to make fluency in English. I may end up being mostly an editor. He has already asked me to proof-read a paper for him. Officially I do not start until classes begin, day after Labor Day.

Look - shiny!

Really?

Ronny has become friends with Sergio. They work out at the gym together all the time. Apparently, Sergio has made the comment that he "tries to be friends" with me but I push him away.

Excuse me??????????

My take on it was that when I called him (couple times) and emailed him (couple times) and he never answered or replied, I gave up. I was sick of being "dumped" by Sergio, and decided to stop giving him opportunities to do so. Ronny is aware of this. He claims that all happened in the past, and things are different now. I asked how they are different. He said he's friends with Sergio now. So, Sergio will stop being a callous, self-absorbed ass to me now that he's befriended an ex of mine who treats me properly. Really? I'm supposed to make the leap of faith AGAIN??
