So...I moved?
Surprise? Okay, but not really, since I didn't even know it was going to happen. I had this whole blog post written up from before shit hit the fan that I was going to post and just update but I realized I can't really do that so... here we go!I've been really down with bronchitis, but I've been trying to not let it stop me! I've been on antibiotics for several days now, so the coughing should stop soon... right? Things with my (old) roommates went south after my last post, as they all pretended to have never known there were any problems, and conveniently forgot/swept under the rug the times I attempted to talk things out before calling it quits... but that's not the worst of it. So they scheduled a housing meeting for Tuesday, which we will get to in a minute...
So after my last post we had a German Karneval welcome event, which I went to with my friend/neighbor Rachel and her roommate Kim! What originally was supposed to just be a quick trip for food ended up being 3 hours and a lot of fun. As I'm sure you've heard, there was no German food, only pizza, but that's okay with me because they had gluten free pizza!!! So. Much. Pizza.
We met up with
their friend Miggy (along with several other people who floated in and
out over the course of the evening) and found out that he and Kim (being
not American) had never heard of/learned a lot of the basic line dances
we grew up with. A disastrous attempt at the Cotton Eyed Joe lead to
more crazy dancing, and a fun night for all.
The next day I went to see Deadpool with friends from work (including a lifeguard that I still have somehow never worked with...) which isn't necessarily my normal sense of humor, but it was funny. I stopped into Erin McKenna's gluten free bakery, but everything is just so heavy. I wish one day someone would figure out how to make a gluten free donuts that isn't dry and dense, yeah? Lots of work and sleeping followed that before finally... we had our housing meeting.
Oh, what to say about the housing meeting? Well, I guess we can be simple. It didn't go well. It ended with the mediators rushing the meeting done very quickly after an hour, and a call from the head of housing that night asking me to please reconsider moving, because they didn't think I was in a safe environment... yikes! I met with them the next morning where they told me I was doing an emergency move, not to talk to my (old) roommates, or tell them I was leaving, and that I had to be done by 5 that evening. AHHHH! It was crazy stressful, and I never want to have to do that again in my life, but I am safe and settled, and that's what matters. My new room is still in the works because I've also been crazy busy, but it's coming along and I think it'll be better than before.
I am so grateful to be surrounded by so many people who care and worry about me. Thank you all for checking in on me and offering to help me (even when there was no viable way for you to help!) Hopefully this can be a new start and a new me. I really, really like my new roommates, and I can see us being great friends, even though I still haven't met one of them due to crazy schedules. The security guards have been so nice, and keep checking to make sure I'm okay, which is a huge relief. Things are finally really starting to look up (and not just because I'm sticking my head up in the clouds.)
Tomorrow is my last 11 hour shift, since we are FINALLY going back to split shifts! I can't wait for 7 hour shifts, where the days are going to fly by. And in just 6 more get ups my mom and Grandpa will be here! I have so many awesome things to look forwards to and I can't wait to share them with you! Have a magical day!
