Breakable Girls and Boys

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So its fairly simple to cut right through the mess
and to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

we are so fragile our cracking bones make noise
we are just breakable girls and boys

-Ingrid Michaelson


I can't believe another week of school is starting like this. Still fairly unsettled, considering another move (I'm starting to get a reputation :0) because I cant seem to sleep here (which does not bode well for the whole studying part of my existence.

My roommate Eunice and I have not signed a lease yet and are not intending to sign. We don't want to leave our third roommate, Yoana, who has already signed the lease. Eunice and I have been looking into the legality of breaking the lease for Yoana due to the failure on the part of management to take care of the cockroach problem.

From this point on in my life I will have more respect for the kinds of things people might deal with at home that are unknown to others. Its amazing (and RIDICULOUS) how quickly something like a pest problem can affect someone in all areas of life.

You might be AMAZED (or not) at how many people have no idea what our rights are as tenants. We called townships and state reps and county and district magistrates, all of whom grew silent upon hearing our questions. How are we supposed to act on our rights if no one knows what they are? I'm tempted to just make them up and challenge someone to prove me wrong.
oh life lessons.
