Our fourth member joined the 'cosm today. Ernest is a 34 year old from Ghana via Belgium (he moved to Belgium and has a family there – 2 kids and a wife). He’s a super-nice guy, and he fits in really well with us. He’s mellow and even tempered, which is a great foil for Edi’s drama and my general bitchiness. His room is E, so he’s literally sharing a wall with me.
Z and I walked down to do the groceries again today. We were alone – Edi having mysteriously disappeared, again – when he knew we wanted to go for food. Ernest was too busy getting settled in and so Zax and I didn’t mind it at all, but still, it was a bit inconvenient for us to have to do Edi’s share when he said he’d be there.
I also had the misfortune to lock myself out of my room today. I’d only meant to close my door over while I went to the kitchen – we’re all in the habit of leaving our doors open when we’re in, unless we need privacy for sleep, school work, phones, whatever. Anyways, I was off to the Porters’ to have them open my door. It was embarrassing, but it’s all done, and I didn’t have to pay this time (once classes start on Monday, it’ll cost me).
Nothing else really happened today, as the shopping took Z and I more than three hours. Oh! I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet, but I’ve signed up for volunteer tutoring in the city – I’d be mentoring high school students who have to take on the roles of adults at home, so this is a place that allows them to act their ages and be teens once a week. I don’t know that I have the job yet, but I’ve signed up and am awaiting news. We’ll see one way or the other soon enough.
