the things you own end up owning you

I had my first day of my internship yesterday. Well, technically it was my 2nd...ish. I went in last week for faculty meetings, and yesterday I went in, went to a meeting, then my supervisor showed me and the other intern around the building.
Public school buildings are like a college dormitory, they have no ventilation. And August & Early September are a tease, their names invoke the feelings and thoughts of autumn, but then they hit you with a heat wave, just as you're pulling all those comfy sweaters out of storage...

Anyway, I haven't had a chance to work with any students yet. I am also terrified about having to do so. There are 2 other interns with me (one is completely new, like me, the other has worked in the school for awhile in a different department) but we have our own room to be our "office" with a phone that we can set up an intern voicemail for, and a scheduling board, to schedule sessions with kids...I AM AN INTERN! gah!

So, that, compounded with my house being a complete mess (due to a recent roommate move-in) my classes starting, staying up until 1am/getting up at 6...and taking on a babysitting job (it's only for 2 hours once a week, but I am selfish and like my "me" time) is just beginning to overwhelm me. It probably won't be as bad next week, since I won't also have things planned for almost every night of the week...
because I had Saturday -Tuesday off (though I didn't realize I had Tuesday off until I showed up to work and was told I wasn't scheduled, but it was ok, I don't like that far away)
so I had 4 days to clean, organize and chill, and I did, but not enough. Saturday I spent most of the day doing laundry and working on my renaissance faire costume, then went to a party that night, Sunday was all me, then Monday was less cleaning, more slacking, then my new roommate started moving things in, which halted any cleaning I was doing, and then she wanted to take me and her friends (who helped with all the heavy stuff) out to dinner, we just went to a place the next street over, but being Labor day it was very busy (take out Thai food) so we were there a lot longer than planned, and by the time we were done it was late and we were all tired
Tuesday the first half of the day was wasted, cause I thought I had work at 1pm, so I just worked on my costume some more and chilled, since I didn't think I could commit to anything, only to show up at work and be handed 4 hours of extra time I wasn't expecting, this allowed me to go to the gym, but then I didn't get to the farmers market cause I wasn't prepared, and even though it's not that far from my house, I got home and didn't want to leave and come back, especially since the new roomie and I were supposed to organize a few things,
but alas, no farmers market means less food, and I have to wait until next Tuesday to go back...when I won't have as much time, ugh, I am so foolish sometimes...
but then I did get to hang out with my mom Tuesday night, she was in the city and staying at a hotel for work, we went to "happy hour" at the concierge and proceeded to enjoy a few large glasses of wine, each, it was so fun :) talking about life, relationships, eavesdropping on the conversations of the people below us, my mom cracking up while on the phone with my step-dad as he whined at her, haha, sigh
Then yesterday was the first day of classes so I had small pockets of time between 8am and 6:30pm then came home to try and organize more at the apartment...but we started later than I expected, so things got moved around, but everything is still in chaos, and I need shelving, BADLY
moved some shelving I had in my living room to the kitchen, but now I have no place to put a bunch of my books and DVDs, though it's my own damn fault, if I had actually read more this summer and gotten rid of books, like I said I was going to then this wouldn't be that much of an issue...
wow I am ranting today...
but yeah, on a break from work right now, work 8am-10 then working again 1pm-3pm, then I am meeting up with my friend who's daughter I am babysitting so she can show me where to pick her up and everything, it's only from 6-8/8:30ish on Thursday, and I definitely have the time, just this week it's stressing me out...cause I want to go home and clean my apartment and have everything settled and in place and not a big freaking mess
not that my apartment was all settled before, but it was getting there, now, ugh, I don't even know where to begin...

it's a wonder I have so much stuff, for all the stress it causes me...tonight is probably gonna be another late night, but time I am going to really purge...
