hello my name is miss kaczmarek

hey biotches!

so just got back in milwuakee this week... friday to be exact and have been getting situated with the whole working at a boys high-school/ living with boys thing. now nora i dont know if your sense of humor has changed at all and if it has you might find this offensive but know im kidding... kinda. so my life and noras are somewhat similar. i feel as though living on 35th and michigan i have a constant looking glass in to the day to day of nora e. kaitis. there are people everywhere, all over the streets. babies are constantly crying. weird dogs also roam the streets and people stare at me everywhere i go like they have never seen a white person before. besides having electricity and running water i would say we are on even levels. so basically nora you could have just volunteered with me and it would have been like you moved to africa without really moving so far away. (again im kidding i dont actually think 35th and mich is the same as africa... but its pretty damn close)

we had our first meeting on monday- basic orientation. i got a tour of the school and it is massive. georgie calls about 4 times a day which for those of you who know georgeann know thats pretty standard. tim has been awesome and has been helping me a lot with moving and stuff and especially bc i have been having some panic attacks. you may ask what am i panicking about. i will tell you- almost everything (i fell like im turning in the georgie). so i was told we could move in to the house anytime last week. i get there friday along with thomas and georgeann bc heaven forbid i do something by myself. go to the house and it turns out all of the volunteers from last year are still living here meaning there is no room to move in to. so we move my stuff in to the front living room. so they still havent moved out by monday and administration finds out and gets pissed. well they tell them all to leave so they move out of their rooms but are currently living on our couches. so there is shit everywhere. boys shit and it smells and is gross. ladies i thought our house was bad- this is a whole new bad. i have never appreciated 914 more. so that house was old but at least was kinda cleaned when we moved in... you know there were blinds on the windows and they didnt have cob webs on them. well this house is old and is gross. the windows are like gray from god knows what and there are no blinds so i have to have to hide in the corners of my room to change. the good thing about the house is it is huge and its free. my room is gigantic but i think i may be moving to a different one.

so they clearly have no idea what to do with a girl. this whole us living together thing is really freaking out the administration since it is a catholic school but there are only two bathrooms and there now are going to be 4 of us so they are really up the creek. class starts next week so hopefully they will have everything figured out by then but thats a whole new level of things for me to freak out about. the kids im living with are superfreak geniuses and i have never felt dumber in my life. we kind of al tip toe around eachother bc its so awkward to be here but its getting better. i found out one of the kids also quit smoking at graduation so he and i have daily cigs on one of our porches (we have like 4). he likes to say he is lighting up a prayer candle and i think its a great way to think about it. so andy (he is my cig buddy) and i have bonded over our love for nicotine, tar, and cancer. ill let all you chicas know how class goes. i basically almost shit my pants thinking about it every night.

o so... the whole madden and bridget thing is crazzzzyyyyy. when i was in chitown two weekends ago for lolla i saw him and was talking to him and asked him how his life was. he responded not good. my drunk dumb ass forgetting about all that had happened asked him why. well he proceeded to tell me he was jobless and living with his parents. so i responded o thats not so bad so am i. well he countered with a big fat o did you also have your girlfriend go to europe and fall in love with a teenager and leave you? and i felt like the biggest idiot in the world. he was saracastic and seemed pretty ok about it but you could tell he was just pissed and hurt. that is nutso.

al im pissed we didnt see eachother last weekend. sorry about friday i got real drunk and went home real early and then monday everything ran late. call me and let me know the next time you are coming to this fair city.

mil girls- im baaack so if you read this today call me about tonight or i will call you. my smoking buddy (andy) has a friend whos dad apparently owns wolskis so he is going there tonight. i would be up for a little wolskis if anyone else is... o and tim and i were talking about how we need to go to bryants soon which is my friends, a must! and you must come over here some night to see the shithole i call home and drink and play. the house is huge so everyone will fit.

love you bitches and write some fun gossip on here... i miss you all so much and it makes me sad living in this house bc it makes me think of college.

love,

miss kaczmarek (thats my teaching name... how weird is that)
