This couple thing, that swing...

This will be short. I am writing from my iPhone at 3 in the morning. I've established that it is not only me who has issues living with couples. My old roommate Amber currently is living with a couple and has plans to leave ASAP. All because they feel that they are the power couple and own the entire house. The thing is all of them are on the lease and they can't really be treating their roommates like crap. They make random rules up and break them themselves but get away with it because they feel like they have the right to do anything they want to all the time. I mean one of them is away in Edmonton for her practicum and her boyfriend has two vehicles in the garage when there are two other people who could use the shelter for their own vehicle. I mean that would get frustrating.

Anyways. Tonight I went out with Derrick, Dan, katelyn, and Kate-Anne for the UofL orchestra silent auction. It was fantastic! They had a live band that was playing swing and all fantastic music that you actually had to dance to and not grind on the dance floor. My kind of dancing music. There were alot of people who were dancing most of the night which was pretty cool considering that most of the people at the silent auction were younger people from the orchestra itself. I only danced with Dan and Derrick which was fine by me. Derrick and I actually ended up entering into a dance competition for jive. We got 5th.... There were also only 8 teams. But you know what, I was pretty proud that we entered. And that we didn't get kicked out first. Some of the dancers were crazy. I mean lifting and swinging and everything. It was awesome. I haven't danced that much since high school. I also knew that gym class was useful.

It was nice just hanging out with Dan. I mean he was really drunk and he did start becoming an asshole to me at one point but other then that we had a really good conversation abut reasons we went to university and why we choose this one and blah blah. It was nice to know that someone else didn't really know what they wanted to do when they graduated high school. Honestly I have had a complete career change based on going to school and finding out what actually interests me. People should have a mandatory year of general studies before they have to declare a major or anything.

I picked up two extra shifts this week. So happy about that. It was really frustrating looking at the schedule and seeing only 4 hours for the entire week. So I picked up a 3 hour shift on Friday and then I get a shift tomorrow for four hours. Or is it today? Yes I know I am posting this late but I just got in and am trying to get some sleep before I actually have to get up. Next week is pretty shitty though too. I only got a 3 hour shift all week. I need to start looking for a new job.

I heard that grey stokes would be good for me. It's a place here where you work with people with autism (I believe or just general mental illnesses) which would be perfect for me and my applications for graduate programs. But who knows if they are hiring. It's worth a shot though. You never know until you try.
