i also have to rant! happy rant though. there are two marine biologists at work and i...freaking love them. like so much. claudia is so nice and sort of timid but she can really throw it down if kids are acting up too much when she’s instructing the lab. dada doesn’t know any english but she has the BEST smile and the most warm and amazing presence. they make me so enthustiac about the work. i was really tense during the lab bc it’s my very first time hanging out with them but dada kept looking over to me and smiling and when we were packing up she was deflating an inflatable globe and she made the “pssht” sound along with it and it made me laugh and it felt so much better. 

also a girl tried to shame me about my leg hair today lmao girlie that train left a bit ago and you missed it

i just met a new person at work and i wasnt sure how much or if she spoke any english so when she asked me where i was from i said “svedese” (i’d learnt this morning how to say that i’m from sweden) she said “oh, you mean svezia. svedese is the adjective for a person from sweden.” and boy :) let me sink into the floor  

im bitter bc its a holiday today at home and im here and missing it and its one of my favorites but my friends are gonna facetime me and show me a bonfire

i got to use my big butch heart to teach kids about leaves and trees today isn't this the life

also im super proud of myself bc i know my entire family didnt think i’d make it through these six weeks but im gonna bc it’s only three weeks left and it’s the biggest fuck you to them i could ever conjure up

i bought a bowl and a mug at the one euro store today and did my laundry, didn’t even feel like crying when there were loads of loud people at the apartment. idk i’m proud of myself and it feels more homey now

honestly im so tired of being nice to people who are horrible to me i have to stop that
