it's been a month...

And the housing problem still remains unresolved. We've had help from our department who told the housing dept that either relocate us or break our contract....Well, they have new housing suggested. My new place they have found is on the main campus...ie NOT MY CAMPUS. It's far away, quite isolated, and oh yeah within the past two years, two people have jumped from the windows there. Several students have told me that building's structure fucks you up. Ive not recieved any good news about this place. So it's like I'm moving from one level of Dante's infero to another. This stress has taken a noticeable toll (sp?) on me. One of my hip piercings has been angry since I got here and doesnt seem to be improving. Whatever gym points I gained before leaving...gone. I can't join a gym yet because I dont know where I will be living.

Really wish I took my theory classes as an undergrad. I'll need ot buy some theory books. On the subject of books, which are insanely expensive here, (think like 40plus dollars for a book that should be under 20), Im still waiting for a book I ordered that I was told as of sept 4, it should arrive any day now. Yeah, not fucking see it here. It better show because I paid a good chunk of change for it.

At least I love my dept and have made some good friends. I don't need a luxury apartment, I just need a place to live that does not amount to suicide jokes. Part of me wants to come home at the end of January, as I cant afford xmas or my other break, or summer. Then part of me is like you can't go home! You had this grandiose plan of not coming home for two years and you can't even make it half a year. Suck it up. I project my feelings of that disappointment onto everyone else. That I've ruined my big plan by breaking from it. It makes no sense, but hey I'm a neurotic kind of girl.

I have thought of a way to decorate my bike. I'm going to glue hundreds of googly eyes to it. I just need to find a store that has them now.

Anyways, I'm alive. Summer school is over and I have 300 pages of reading to do tonight. I hope all of you are well. thanks to those who have sent me emails or commented. It keeps me going!

Don't worry. You'll make great friends there - you won't want to go back to the states during break because you'll be having a kick ass time traveling with all that money!!!

Are they going to try to let you out of the contract at all so you could get into an apartment?
