Also, having to jobs is kind of frustrating. Especially trying to communicate to one that, no, I can't conveniently skip the other one to work for them on a particular Saturday. Etc.
I've become a slight bit less enchanted with Boulder after being here for a few months. The town is great, but it's also very expensive, and jobs don't pay that much because people are used to hiring college kids who don't need money but have to account to their parents where the money flow is going. Also, because it's so expensive, there is very little diversity in this town. Lots of white people. There are few people of African heritage, occasionally someone from Europe, and plenty of Hispanic workers who I rarely see because they're always given the kitchen or construction jobs. I find this somewhat depressing, personally. It seems like a lot of people here are so busy living with their yoga-filled heads in the clouds that they forget about the homeless people they're ignoring.
Otherwise, classes are still going well. There is not too much difference in my life from last week. I shall continue to update. Bye all,
