September 30th, 2025: The end of September, and the feast day of Saint Jerome. I woke up at 7:00am and had fruity pebbles for breakfast. I went back into my room to get hit yet again by the smell of improperly dried laundry, but I hopped on the computer to work on my German homework, which consisted of a 5 minute quiz and a 12 minute mini-test I completed early. I started walking to campus but saw a homeless Black man sleeping on the streets. I changed course and wondered why he didn’t just sleep in the park or on a less busy street, but he probably would have just gotten the cops called on him. A park is more obscure and it’s better to sleep on grass than on concrete. I finally got near the library and saw Day from a distance but did nothing. I went upstairs at roughly 9:00am and decided to head into the map collection to look and see what’s there. I waited a bit and at 9:01am I saw Macie’s Snapchat story which was just a picture of her with the text:
<About to crash out knowing I have no free time till Thursday
I replied and started this conversation that lasted until near the end of the day:
>Welcome to having a real job
<Actually 2
>Please go down to 1, stop stressing yourself
<No can do
>Why?
<Its part of my program
>How many hours do you work total
<Well i technically work one job
<But one of my classes is spending 2 full days in middle school every week
<So it takes up the time of a job, without actually getting paid
>Sad
<Yeah
>Demand a real wage or threaten them
<They’ll kick me out of the program
>Evil program
>Satanic
<Youre tellin me
>*You’re
I put my computer on the charger just outside the place and went in and took these pictures:
I didn’t understand why the map of the Wisconsin territory was so tiny in June 1925 but I looked closer and saw it was from 1837 and was gifted from Eugene Field to John Taylor in 1925. I took note of all the county oddities, Waukesha county is in Milwaukee county. Kenosha county is in Racine county, Lafayette county is a part of Iowa county. I left at 9:30am to walk over to class, I thought I saw Lizzo walking nearby but the woman was actually just some lookalike Mexican. I got into my operating systems class and had absolutely no idea what to do. I took some pictures and accepted I’m fucked once the in class activity rolls around on Thursday. I ended up getting dismissed from class at 10:55am and I realized I left my leather jacket at work so I should get it today. I was outside of my German class and I didn’t see Lizzo or Talia so I didn’t have anybody to talk to. I went into class and once we got in, there were 2 tables with 2 people at them. And 4 tables with 1 person at them. The thin trans girl (actually a guy) came in and sat at a table with one person, not mine. I was on my computer looking up the one Mayan ruler of Palenque called “Casper” because his signature glyph looks like a ghost. I read about his birth on August 8th, 422 AD (8.19.6.8.8) and looked up the Mesoamerican long count calendar, so August 11th, 3114 BC corresponds with the date they thought the universe was created. (0.0.0.0.0) and the second digit from the right is base-18 instead of base 20 for some reason. The current day is (13.0.12.17.6), my birthday would be (12.19.10.10.8). I was closer to the table with the single girl but by the time the partner activity came around, she was assigned to work with the other guy up front. I felt mocked for the fact that I was the odd one out compared to everybody. I hardly worked on the task because I was absolutely zoned out and I didn’t know what to do. The normal guy the cigarette smelling transgender “girl” was partnered up with asked me:
“Hey how many hours of sleep did you get?”
I calculated in my head how much I got, I went to sleep at 12:00am and woke up at 7:00am so I replied:
“6 to 7 hours, no meme intended.”
They weren’t that concerned but I continued stumbling through the work. I left my computer plugged into the wall outlet to charge. I left at 12:44pm and walked a while until I remembered where my laptop was and ran back for it. I got there just as the teacher was to pick it up and I got it from her, thanking her before running all the way to my bus stop. The bus came at 1:03pm and I sat 2 rows ahead of this Black guy while I was near the middle of the bus. At 1:10pm, he moved up a seat and asked me:
“Hey could you look up something for me…”
I moved to the front of the bus once he asked me that. But I was 5 minutes away from my stop and I swear the stoplights were fucking me over. I got off and then went into my building and told Seth M I was back and he instructed me that this Eastern European lady needed to have her phone replaced because it wasn’t sending texts. I talked with Ahwahn a bit more while she was with Keke and I heard her say to me:
“Jambo!”
I replied:
“What?”
“Jambo!”
“I have no idea what that means.”
“You’re supposed to say Habari back!”
“What kind of language is this?”
“It’s Swahili!”
“Has Seth M been teaching it to you?”
“A little bit.”
Wow, super shitoko I got more of the free snacks in the main break room because I didn’t have dinner. I saw Staples wearing a scarf. I had to read the employee handbook and get the last 2 pages printed out to sign. I went over to help the Polish lady and one thing I noticed is that she had the same personality as the Italian lady from my old job, like a pouty attitude but not bad at all, and she was older, in her 40s maybe, also married like the Italian lady. I didn’t get her phone set up but I left a tad bit early while Seth M was working on her phone. I took the bus and walked off all the way to the Catholic center. I got invited to help clean by Cronstedt but passed. I volunteered to help read. I put my sheet down and then walked around outside a bit and saw a Chevy parked where Elijah said he got a ticket, I prayed that the guy in the Chevy would come to mass. I read Zechariah and the Psalms before going back down. I saw the engaged (now married) girl’s sister holding hands with a guy from Bible study, I gave them the thumbs up but he didn’t understand I was calling him lucky, I wish I had parents like Mrs. and Ms. I who could raise me normal and able to survive in the dating world instead of one being overly strict and the other one being absent except for the weekends, I have never had true control of what happens to me in life. Gabriella stole my spot and I moved to the back. This one girl sat next to me and did the legs crossed away from me like she didn’t choose to do that. Father Malachi was at mass instead of Father Aquinas. I saw Seraphim and Hannah at mass, also Quinci beforehand. I got out and got dinner while I ended up talking to nobody in line. I sat outside eating the taco stuff with Mahdi, Mercurius, and 2 others. Mercurius was reading the book One Hundred Years of Solitude and Mahdi grabbed it and read a quote from the book denouncing cinema. Mercurius was saving his seat with an empty POM Wonderful bottle for his girlfriend. I tried to get Quinci to come over and sit at our table but she was convinced by Cronstedt instead to sit with them. I went back home and completed the last of my Biblejaks after taking a shower. I saw James’ snapchat story which read:
<Just realized that if Hatsune Mikue was alive during the revolutionary war she would have fought against the British and could therefore have been considered as one of the founding fathers er leaders
>What?
I went to sleep.
