Wow, it's been a long while since I've updated, possibly because I joined LJ and Facebook. So an update is necessary and so here goes.

On the situation mentioned in my previous entries: there is a contract currently in place for the summer and there shall be a new one for the new school year. Click here for more info.
I'm getting flashbacks and nightmares again and worse than before. :(

I have a summer job at school. So I live at school too. (I'm such a geek. Proud to be though!)
I wanna move soon to my new room. I hate my current neighbours. They're so loud and inconsiderate. One even argues with the Dons when he gets a noise complaint against him.

My job is okay. I clean the res rooms for guests. We've found some interesting things: vibrator, used condoms (on the floor), poo, big spiders and insects, used tampon on the floor.... the list goes on and on. As gross as some of those are, we also find useful things: hangers, cushions, boxes, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, candles... again the list goes on... I've got 3 more weeks of this job... whee! It's once again crunch time. We have to get all the res rooms ready for the students. We had this at the beginning of the summer except it was getting the rooms ready for guests. We had 16 people then and now we're down to 7 regular with the option of pulling 5 more from their other specialties, which we may have to do some time soon.

Good news is that I can sleep on my bed again. Okay, so Eika told Vital the basic just of what happened on my behalf. I gave her permission to. She just said its an issue of sexual harrassment and he asked if it was verbal, she said no, its physical. So he came to wake me up and told me to go see his boss. So I tried, but lost confidence and courage when I got there so I left. Then on Thursday, while Ace was over, Vital came to talk to me and get full details about the incident. I couldn't tell him everything, especially the details about where I got touched. Those I told him in an email as well as my scary experience in the shower. Please anyone who reads this and is in a similar situation, tell someone. It's scary to do but trust me it helps. As my mum just told me, there's no weakness in sharing problems.
Anyways, I had a meeting on Monday with Vital's boss. She said I have three choices:
1. Deal with it on my own (informally) without her help
2. Deal with it informally with her help or a Don there for support.
3. Make a formal complaint. This would include a formal investigation, etc.

I'm definitely not going for option #1. She also said that if I choose #2 and I feel it doesn't work out, I can change my mind and go with #3. I am leaning towards #3 though. I'm grateful she's giving me time to think over what I wanna do.

Oh shame... shame... please gimme a new name and a new life... I love it here, except for the few things... well one in particular... I can no longer sleep on my bed, I'm sleeping on the floor, yes the hard concrete floor. Oh what to do? Well I finally got up the courage to tell someone, who happens to be Eika. She helped me out when it happened again. We sorta devised a quick code and I had to use it within 15 minutes. Why am I such a passive person? I let people get away with a lot of things... however, this will not go away... and well now I'm doing something about it. I left Vital a note saying that I needed to talk with him ASAP. The only problem is that today is my busiest day. Meeting at 1030, then straight to class at noon which finishes at 3. Then I have a few hours to kill, avoiding this person if possible. The most complicated part is that he live on my floor, just two doors away from me. Well Vital finishes late today at 7, and I wanna go see a play tonight and that starts at 8 so I dunno if I'll have time to talk to him before I have to leave for the play. I also told this person that I'd go with them to the play. I think I'll be okay since its in a public area. This person is also going to take me to Union Station tomorrow to get my friend. That I will manage to do on my own, if necessary. So here I go to sleep on the floor. On a sheet laid over the floor, since I haven't vacuumed in a while. I also have just one pillow, my teddy bear and my squishy pillow. I also have my pink fleece blanket, which I will use to cover myself with to keep warm. Hopefully I can get to sleep soon, and also that Vital will be around this afternoon so I can talk to him ASAP about this.

Well got a huge shock today. Someone told me that my supercrush is gay. This doesn't mean I'll stop talking to him, after all he's an awesome guy. Nor do I have anything against queers as I'm one myself. (Queer being anyone fromthe LGBT community). Sorta not in the greatest mood. Lots on my plate and I'm scared of something falling off.

Ok definitely been awhile since I've posted. I survived semester one of university :)
I haven't seen or heard much from Vital. He asked me awhile back whether the radio station got broken into.. it didn't. Just closed for the break. Ok I do admit it: have a huge crush on him. Yes I'm sorta obsessing about him but not in a stalker way. Not saying anything else. In high school it was OPD that I was obsessed with, now its Vital. Just the way I am I guess.
If you don't check the news that often: Harper is the new Canadian Prime Minister. In my opinion, this means that Canada is minorly screwed. I say minorly because its a minority government.
