I'm tired.
I'm tired of living in accommodation where the person in charge of it thinks that people should revel happily in their own filth and the filth of the people about them. Shows basic disregard for health and safety (supposing we actually have laws on those). Is unable to say what he means and to mean what he says. Has a fundamental unwillingness / inability to get up off their *ss and have a look about the place and decide to be something other than the king of the sh*t hole.
It's basically the final quarter. The time when people go wherever for spring break... Major tests next week and then exams in a couple months. Need to stay focused on the sprint to the end. But I'm tired, yeah.
I'm particularly tired of there always being people across my fence (as in open my bedroom window and wave hello! to them) who scream and squawk and yip and yell for hours upon hours of every day. In Auckland it was teenagers / young adults drinking and whooping and carrying on into the small hours of the morning. Here it is the yelling of kids who are severely intellectually handicapped or abused or... I don't know what is wrong with them... But the teachers put them out to pasture during the day, it seems, and they congregate outside my window and scream their pain from 8:30 in the morning through much of every day. Then the bang bang bang of drum practice after school and the bang bang bang of a ball or two on the ball court and then slam slam slam of the kids and their skateboards into the evening.
There isn't any place to work at university, really. If you go to places set aside for study it's all groups / gangs of people going 'whoop! whoop! whoop!' all day. If you try and find some out of way place... If security (or someone pretending to be - it is always hard to tell) will decide it is their god given right to interact with you and stop you working / otherwise move you along. Nothing to be done but find some herd to huddle with and whoop! whoop! whoop! All day.
It's just about keeping my head down as best I can and getting through these next couple months. I'm just tired... And upset about the whoops whoop's (who also didn't ask to have been born, to be fair).
