My Chronic Case of The Mondays
Well, I survived yesterday, as you can see from my obsessive reblogging of ExplodingDog pictures.
It was a looooong damn day. However, I earned enough money to pay my rent and nearly all of my health insurance for one month, so I cannot complain. I will say that it is difficult to work so much on one day.
My schedule yesterday:
- Leave at 6:50am
- Teach: 8a-1pm (8-9:30a; 9:45-11:15a; 11:30a-1:00p)
- BA Thesis help session 1-3p
- Teach: 3-6:15pm (3-4:30p; 4:45-6:15p)
- Back: 7pm
- Sleep like rock: 9pm
Luckily, I shouldn’t have that schedule again. I usually get a break from 1-3p. I think it will also be easier after the semester at my own uni (where I study) is over.
Today, I went to the gym, which might have been a bad idea since I was so tired. However, I did read three chapters of one of my books for class. That means I’m starting to study. So, yay me! I’m going to try to read another two chapters before I go to bed tonight, and I will start on my packing for Rome. Because I leave on Thursday morning. German Sister and I are finally able to take a trip together! Yay!

playing the part of the loveable foreigner: a conversation at the mainz hbf
I heard the (still familiar though uncommon these days) clear, clipped North American English accent at the counter at the main train station today and like a total fucking creeper (which I do not even pretend to deny I am) I asked the man where he was from.
Him: The United States.
Me: Yes, but…
Midwest represent, so zip your jackets up…
