The kids in the hall

I know I rant a lot but the kids in the hall have seriously lost it. I work at the front desk of some dorm that is known for its particularly laid back but sometimes crazy atmosphere. Figuring this, I took the late night shifts Mondays so I could get some work done. I mean who really drinks on a Monday night? Surprisingly many more than I would’ve ever imagined. Fine, drink. But do you have to get sloppy on a Monday night?? I have a bunch of obnoxious little kids (mostly freshman who think it’s oh so awesome and hardcore to drink little flavored smirnoffs and alize) stumbling in and then f'n congregating in the lounge all loud for like 30 minutes. I wouldn’t care as much if they just came in and went straight to their rooms or even their floor but then again I guess it defeats the purpose of drinking your liver off and not let everyone know that you had 1/2 a beer and got drunk. I think the worst case of 'most likely to fail out after one semester' has to be the infamous coke(+more) four. Honestly...why?? "My nose hurts" Yeah, it's probably from sniffing all that god damn coke!

Stupid late shift keeps throwing my sleeping pattern way off and as annoyed as I sound from all these frequent observations, it mostly saddens me how much time, money, 'education' is being wasted within all this. I guess if they're able to waste that much money on drugs and alcohol it doesn't really matter.

Aww poop.

So I've been back in Oswego for a little over a week now and I'm pretty content thus far. It's everything I expected and then some. I love working in Funnelle since it's laid back but the 1-3 am shifts are kinda rough. Umm I was bored yesterday so my friend dyed my hair and now it's a bit orange-ish on top but I'm going to wash it out again to see if it changes? (probably not lol) Let's see...I miss some of the folks from home and I've realized that I've been here for far too long. I'm really thinking about graduating in December 08' just to start my masters asap. Well that is unless I find a job abroad (which I'm counting on) so I don't have to stress about it here. Is it so wrong that my heart just doesn't seem to be in it for teaching? I don't want to be a crappy, miserable teacher that students hate. Maybe I'm just overthinking it... I love helping people out but this program has really made me lose a lot of interest in teaching. Well time is winding down so I know I need to make a decision real soon...hopefully I'll have an epiphany real f'n soon!
Jen. We all miss you!!
