Cancellations and other Oddities

My friend coming back from Indiana canceled his visit to Charlottesville today because his car hasn't been registered in the state and he doesn't want to drive it back yet. So I let my other friend know and now they're not coming back until tomorrow. At least I hope they do. I was looking forward to their visit.

I also found out that I will be teaching a lesson on the Cold War on my birthday. So I definitely won't be going out the night of the 28th as I had planned, but whatever. There will be plenty of other times to drink.

My house is a wreck. And it's not my fault. The things I have are clean. My room and the bathroom I share with three other guys are tidy. The problems are the living room downstairs, the other upstairs bathroom, the kitchen upstairs, and the yard. I don't really care too much about the living room and the yard because I don't spend a lot of time in those places. I also don't use the other bathroom but it is still disgusting. And only two people share it. My main problem is with the kitchen that is right across the hall from my room. The same two people who have destroyed the bathroom at the end of the hall have also managed to destroy the kitchen. I cannot use it anymore. Trash is piled up in the corner and dishes are overflowing from the sink and counter.

I wouldn't care about that too much except that it looks bad on me as someone who lives here..but most importantly it's because of the flies it breeds. They are everywhere. And because of my room's proximity, they come into my room. I feel like I'm living in some third-world country. I get so frustrated to the point of tears sometimes because I hate living here so much. I've killed hunterds of flies...possibly thousands. I've become known as the "Fly Murderer" because the traps I set out (some wine with a bit of dish soap in shallow cups) have killed so many. It's something to be proud of, I guess. But I'd rather not have this problem.

I really can't wait until I move into the new apartment in June. I hate this house.
