that's what i was asked at breakfast this morning. and so goes this iowa trip. drunk girl takes bath at 4am. walks naked back to her room. has trouble finding said room. enters my supervisees' room (3) times - buck naked mind you. after the 3rd time, they learn to lock the door. she finds her room and goes to bed. we find a pile of clothes by the bathtub this morning. aah. if this is what it's like w/ a group of people in their early-to-mid 20s, i don't even want to think about the life of an RA with actual college kids.
so, my time here is almost up!! Yippie! what a long week. though i was required to attend a few meetings this week, i feel bad that i was here the rest of the time. it was so disorganized and unproductive. lots of sitting. if nothing else, i've had lots of impromptu naps while waiting for the rain to stop, waiting for a new task or just waiting for time to pass so i could go back to the dorm. jeez.
it hasn't been a bad trip - just entirely too long. 3 days too long. but the town is adorable - as is the campus. feeds my fantasy of having a college do-over. they even have this wierd thing here where you only take one class at a time. huh. didn't know that was possible.
i realized when talking to katie earlier this evening that there were exactly two times that i felt a little at home this week: one time i heard an ambulance siren and the other time they served lentils for dinner in the dining hall. what can i say? both are comforting.
my mind does feel a little clearer - it's not such a struggle to write down random thoughts. maybe i need to do something about that in my real life.
looking forward to my last breakfast with potatoes - damn they're good! if you live here, you have potatoes for just about every meal. not too shabby.
also looking forward to getting back to my own life - spending time w/ D, hanging out at our house, working in the garden (i hear we've got some tiny tomats and cukes!).
