OMG I FORGOT TO CALL YOU XD Okay, expect a call from me going "omgggggg WAAAAAH~<3" one of these days. I'm glad you had fun!faith wrote:I got back to France yesterday and had a Welcoming Myself Back party. Woahhhh jetlag!
I was walking with Strickland today to his job and I feel bad because he's so down and exhausted lately. His RA job (resident assistant) is consuming his life nearly 24/7 and his second job as an admissions ambassador is just tiring. He's on call for his kids all the time, which they take advantage of, and he'll have a ton more meetings starting tomorrow and he's behind on his readings too. One kid won't speak to him in English and one girl waits at his door to talk to him for hundreds of years. Every comment, even when he talked about my outfit or asking all about me, was so sad-sounding. He was practically groaning so I asked him:
"What time did you go to sleep??"
"I got up at 7 today but went to sleep at 4"
"Why??"
"One of my residents was trying to kill themselves so I had to talk them out of it all night. It's only Tuesday and things are already starting off great. Can't wait to see what the rest of the week will bring."
BLARGH I totally made sure to be a great motivator and adorable though and he was smiling wearily by the end of the walk. I know he's lucky for having his housing/meals paid and for having a second job but it's like consuming his soul and he looks so weary, especially compared to his Shanghai self. I feel like we're back on earth now. @.@

This has to be my favorite picture of him ever! It was taken by my friend at the Banco Santander brunch ^^
