Rain (and Other Sundry Bits of Information)

9-5-11

So, rain decided to come in through the part of my window where the curved window meets the rectangular window. Not cool. I texted and called JP, and she got someone from Plant Services to look at it. He dried it and put some plumber's putty on it, but I have to leave my room disarranged so that someone can look at it tomorrow to see what else needs to be done with it. *sigh* You would think that living in a newly finished apartment would mean that I wouldn't be having to deal with this.

I mean, on Ebeye, water came in the window, ran down the wall, soaked my mattress and got my papers wet. But I sort of expected stuff like that to happen. Here, in this new apartment, I didn't. But I suppose both the window and my perspective need fixing on the matter. Still, it's supposed to rain most of the rest of the week. (Thanks, Lee!)

In other news, I've made contact with both of my beats for News Reporting class. (I originally wrote that as Newsreporting class, and that's decidedly not an English construction. So at least I can tell that I've been paying attention in German. I sort of have to, seeing as I'm the only one in Intermediate German.) There's a lot of interesting things going on, despite the fact that both of the people I talked to don't think anything going on in their departments is interesting. Guess I should go write my beat report.

Also, I understand that everyone is busy, but if I send a text, I'd at least like a response saying that you're too busy. (Does that make sense? Silence makes me feel that I've angered you somehow, or that you've decided that I'm not worth answering. Granted, that's my problem, but yeah, doesn't make it bother me less.) [Note: the "you" here is not everyone, but the "you" probably doesn't read my blog, but I still wanted to get that off my chest. Right now I just feel like a friend of convenience, and I know we're better friends than that.]

More later.
