I have been so busy this week that I don't actually have a lot to say. I had six people in my spinning class today which is great -- a 600% increase as last week I only had one. I used to pull 12 but since my class is at noon and they tore down the locker rooms and put in trailers with showers (e.g. port o johns that smell like buttcrack) most members have opted to postpone the gym until after work. But I have faith they will be back come October, when the new locker rooms are in place and the shit storm of snow has begun. I am going to put up cutesy signs to promote my growth too, cause if I don't teach the only thing that grows is my ass. In other news, I am tired of negativity. The people in my program are a ball of negativity. So much so that they are throwing off my chi and basically my whole personal balance. Does it say "complaint department" on my forehead??? Yeah, I didn't think so...anyway this one girl is so particularly obnoxious that I can't take it anymore. And yet she continues to seek me out on the Centro to and from South campus and in class to sit next to and on our breaks that occur during our 3 hour classes. And since she is in my program, every class I have is with her. And I don't think I can take it much longer. So I think I need to have an intervention. Basically, I am going to sit down tomorrow and tell her how much she sucks, albeit mildly, (that is my tone will be mild, she sucks way more than mildly) how I do not enjoy her company and I am not her friend and if she could excuse me but I am going to sit somewhere else. Yeah, but I probably won't do that cause I am a coward and I have to spend the next 2 years with this nutcase and I probably shouldn't alienate myself this early (e.g. 48 hours) into the game. But here is the run down of my peers: * the girl that sucks (see above) who is so completely negative and naggy that she makes Shari Sobine seem tolerable in comparison, who complained there aren't any men in our program, gee I thought I was here for an education, not a husband, silly me... * a girl who asks for public safety to escort her around campus after 7 p.m. so that she is safe, who also wears cartoon character emblazoned clothing and talks about being sick all the time * newly engaged ugly girl that over gesticulates so that everyone notices her engagement ring, who only speaks of wedding planning and being engaged and who congratulates any person that remotely looks like they are pregnant (men included, JK) * a quiet girl who seems nice, but the only thing I know about her is that she rides horses and she is incredibly overweight (like health risk obese) so I just stare at her and think how bad I feel for the horses... Okay that's my program! Lucky girl I am I know... I should probably get to doing something productive today, so I am going to go read Freak the Mighty, will give my review later this week. Read Tuck Everlasting this afternoon and am in love with it. Can't wait to teach... Oh and before I forget, if I suddenly fall off the face of the earth it is because I picked up my mom and drove off a cliff with her strapped tightly into the passenger seat. Ending the constant ten hour long conversations she subjects me to daily, which always inevitably lead to an argument because I don't a.) agree with her point of view b.) don't take her advice c.) don't let her tell me what to do, are you sensing the pattern? Yeah, you're quick, I thought you would....
