New place, different problems

It has been a while since I updated. Its because I had shifts all week last week at UCD. There was some environmental epidemiology conference going on there all week. People from different colleges were there presenting whatever they had. Stuff like "the effects of smog on people living in houses of different heights"? I'm not sure if they did a study on people living in tall houses or people living at high altitude. Most of the studies seemed dumb and they were all done by people whose names I couldn't pronounce. What I did at the conference was facilitate the tea and coffee breaks and serve the lunch everyday. They had about 4 tea and coffee breaks throughout the day, so it was ridiculous. The environmental people are weird though, and it seemed like they didn't like talking to people, especially the tea and coffee people. I would walk through the main hall while they were all in there looking at their boring posters and I collected trash but no one would move out of my way when I was coming through with a giant trash bag. One guy asked if there was a bag for recycling, so we told him that we separate it in the back which was a total lie. They also got real mad if we ran out of cheese sandwiches because they are vegetarians. It was probably the most boring thing I have worked, but it was good because it was all week long and it was very easy.

Random things on my body have been hurting lately and I don't know why. Maybe I have arthritis.

Todd and I moved into a new place that is much nicer than the last one. It isn't very far away from the other place, but somehow the neighborhood is much nicer. There are no loud Italians, or weird Brazilians, or slow internets. However, the wireless here doesn't reach all the way to our room, so I have to go into the living room every time I want to use it. And there is a refrigerator in the dining room that has a dead rat in it or something. When someone opens it a wave of stink blows through the entire house. We told the landlord about it and he is supposed to come get that thing out of here tomorrow.

I randomly remembered that I used to have a livejournal in high school so I looked it up and it's still there. You can go look at it if you want. Just click THIS THING. It takes place in the last semester of my high school career. I thought it was pretty funny. Alright, this is red 5, I'm going in.
