Dorm life, it's fabulous!

I've been incognito this week because my summer job started. I know that sounds funny, but it really is my summer job.

(Update for those in the dark: I quit my job effective May 31. I am starting a new job in mid-August. Thus, I need a summer job to pay the rent. There are times when it would be nice to live at home...)

I worked in a related position last year at this same job. It's called the New York institute, a kind of teacher boot camp, run by Teach For America. It seems like just yesterday when I whisked away to the Houston institute literally the day after graduation. In fact, if it wasn't for Tedd and company, I would never have been able to make it work. Back then, I owned an obcene amount of stuff. I've been trying to get rid of stuff ever since. My goal is to be able to move by myself in half a day.

Anyway, the institute is held at Fordham University, in the Bronx. Everyone is living on campus in dorms. Fun. My job is actually to handle all the housing, food, security, and maintenance needs for the summer, so I have an intimate relationship with the dorms. The dorm I'm staying in is actually very nice. I think it's actually nicer than Plex (a dorm at Northwestern), and I thought Plex was pretty decent. All the rooms have their own bathrooms. Except the singles, and I'm staying in a single. So I share a bathroom with another single. These doors are so thin, I can hear everything that goes on in the next room. I hope neither of us embarrasses ourselves.

More on my job later - it's going to be very hectic, but I'm sure there will be lots of goodie updates, because work never stops (it's almost a 24/7 job for 6 weeks straight) and interesting stuff always happens.

And I promised that interesting stuff would show up here.

Be sure to vote on my new poll. I wrote my blog extra long today so you would notice it. It's just to the left. You can do it, vote!
