June 7

On Tuesday, I had sort-of a busy day. I went to campus for a group meeting. It didn't take long and there wasn't much discussion, just divided up the questions into 4 parts and luckily I took charge of it so I could call dibs on the same allotment of questions for both groups I am in (one I have to do questions 15-28 and the other 22-28!). Then I had a break in between meetings so I tried to go see the Financial Advisor, but she was out of town, so that didn't quite work out. Afterwards, I had a TSA meeting, where we discussed future candidates and my replacement. I got a text from Jillian saying that Michael came to talk to her and told her that a woman might be coming by to look at the place and might want to move in quickly, which would mean that I may have to use the upstairs kitchen and bathroom for my last couple weeks here. I'm sorry... WHAT? I'm getting kicked out of my space early?? This is ridiculous.. It just seems absurd to me. Whatever, there's not much I can do.

So, after the meeting, I came home and this lady did indeed come over. She looked older, divorced. She toured the place and then talked for a long time with Michael. Meanwhile, I talked to Jillian about jerky politicians, cheating, marriage, etc. All with the door to upstairs open, so I'm sure the recent divorcee heard everything. Oh well. Anyway, then Michael came down and told us that she is moving in, this SUNDAY! The same day Jillian leaves. Should be an interesting day! UGH. And after that, I will sleep in my room, but use the upstairs bathroom and kitchen... He also said he would put up a door between her space and this other area, so she won't see me. And he'll paint the wall in her room. HAHA Yea right! Jillian and I looked at him like REALLY?! First of all, he's said so many things that haven't happened and secondly, if he can get that wall painted in a couple days (even while he's gone on business), then why the FUCK couldn't he have gotten the rest of the house painted during those first 6 months that we were living here?!?! It's a bit of a slap in the face. I'm only slightly relieved that this lady moving in means that I won't get stuck with all of the cleaning by myself. Jillian and I will both have to clean the apartment to get it ready for her. Oh well. It's going to be VERRY awkward living with Michael for 10 days. He should be gone for half of it, but still. UGHHHH.

For the rest of the night, I drank and talked with Jillian about her guy and how she deserves better. Maybe not tonight, but one day I hope she realizes it. She's soo selfless and giving that she doesn't even think it's OK to expect a guy to treat her with respect. I don't know how to tell someone that they deserve it. You gotta believe it 'cuz only then will you act like it and not let guys walk all over you. I have no idea where I learned this. And I'm not perfect, I've got my own relationship issues, I'm sure, so I can't talk, but... The girl is awesome. I hope she knows it.
