Cleaning Ms. Rosa

What's going on in my life? That's a very good question. One that requires a lot of patience to answer, but at the same time -- outlandish humor and inappropriate sexual comments.

1. Outlandish Humor: I'll be purchasing a digital recorder from BestBuy just for the purpose of recording one week of classes and then returning it to the store. I feel like a Rebel.
2. Inappropriate Sexual Comments: Yeah, I'd have sex with the cleaning lady just so she'd replace the light bulb in the bathroom. I feel like a Walsh.

Speaking of light bulbs in the bathroom, there isn't. So, every time I have to use the bathroom, I take my trusty mini-Maglight® with me. This morning when I took a shower, I had minor difficulty figuring everything out. Dripping wet, blinded by the darkness, searching for my pants but sticking my hand in the toilet instead, I become frustrated and decided to call maintenance.

Me_Me_Me: Yeah, hi. The light in our bathroom doesn't work, so we can't see anything.
BlindChildrenAreMoreHelpful: Has the cleaning lady come by yet?
Me_Me_Me: Oh, I'm not sure. I don't believe so.
BlindChildrenAreMoreHelpful: Just wait for Rosa -- you're in Apollo, right?
Me_Me_Me: Yes.
BlindChildrenAreMoreHelpful: ...Just wait for Rosa to come by, she'll take good care of you.
Me_Me_Me: Alright. Thanks.
BlindChildrenAreMoreHelpful has signed off.

From the moment Rosa walked in, I was in love. Her small, white, Golden Girls-style shoes. The short, black hair that frizzed about her head. And her face -- small, big, and medium all at the same time. She was, without a doubt, ugly.

Me_Me_Me: Hi. The light in the bathroom doesn't work.
VacuumMaster180: Diga el mantenimiento!
VacuumMaster180 has jumped out the window.

I don't know Spanish, but I knew what mantenen..mantence...mantencememo meant. In fact, I went ahead and added it to the college dictionary (my own little mental dictionary of words that aren't real). After she left, I decided to call maintenance again to see what I actually had to do to get someone to put in a working light bulb. Unfortunately, maintenance told me that they had so many other important jobs to do because of Hurricane Jeanne that they couldn't take the time to write down a work order. Instead, they said, I should take a trip to my RA and tell him to put in a work order. They tried to convince me that it'd get done fast this way.

Of course, I'm having this conversation on the phone in the common room in the midst of the EVIL and Kurt Douglas. None of them could take the time to get any of this fixed.

Useless.

So, of course I decided be the mature one.

I didn't go to the RA.

Like I'm about to go out and Communicate with someone on this campus. LOL! Good one. I can handle the mood lighting darkness in the bathroom. Let's see how long they can hold out. Heh, heh, heh...

So, after laughing to myself about even considering going to the RA, I called the UPS hotline to get some money back for an Amazon.com book I ordered. Long story short, I had to drive to the central UPS store about forty-five minutes away in order to obtain my book. I'm not liking that. So I call, and the customer service representative exchanges some perverted remarks with me on the phone, i.e., your sister slept with my dog, which led me to hang up on him. So, I'll e-mailed Amazon to see what they could do about it. I'm sure we'll figure this out eventually.

Afterwards, I embarked to first period -- College Algebra Discussion with Wu. Wu is the reason I want to get the digital recorder. He freaks out sometimes when people ask him questions. He'll go off on this crazy example problem that has nothing to do with anything anyone is talking about which makes me think of the time we asked him to explain problem thirteen and he began to explain about pyroclastic flow or some garbage and everyone just slowly walked out of the classroom.

Well, it went something like that, anyway...

Current grades:
English paper: 103%
Math test: 80%
Psychology test: 76%

Psychology is hard. I don't know what's happening tomorrow. We were supposed to have a guest speaker in English on Monday, but...we didn't have school Monday. Oh well, only time will tell!
