I haven't written on this blog for a month....I apologize...My life lately has been pretty mundane and boring there wasn't much to write about UNTIL THIS WEEK! So apparently our landlord is a crook and wants to get more money from us plus our deposit.  I have become a master of googling things and reading iowa codes about landlord/tenant rights.  It makes me excited to be working as a legal advocate( maybe I could go to lawschool-hahaha). Anyways this expierence has been bitter, but I have learned alot and know now how to protect myself from getting taken advantage of again.  After Ab and I go talk to her on Wed. I will post and tell how it went. 
 
Today I woke up at 5 in the morning to go to work. I cut bread and put NICELY on tray for an hour then I set up a buffet and kept it filled. At about 9:15am, I encountered one of the rudest people I have talked to.  IT was a parnet of a freshmen eager to get the bookstore, so she stopped me, while I was clearing her table.  Apparently taking your trash with you to one of the 100 trash cans that are around the union is too hard to do yourself. Anyway she asks me how to get to the bookstore and while I was mid giving directions- she mocks me.  There are two lessons in life that I thought were ingrained in us from birth...1) Never ever make the person who is handling your food angry or upset.... and 2) Do not mock someone who is trying to help you out and give you directions. I honestly think these rules if not ingrained would also be common sense...Apparently this parent was lacking in that department. Back to the story... I was very tempted to send her across campus the other way but I just smiled and was polite.  I did not want to get into trouble with my coordinator.
 
I guess you could say my faith in people has been shaken lately.  I used to be very trusting, I guess you could say naive, that everyone really is a good person on the inside. I just thought some you have to look deeper than others. I know now there are some good people, and some not so good people.  I know as  I am in Milwaukee dealing with people everyday I will soon find out, there are not as many good people as I thought...Hopefully I am wrong.
 
I guess I just don't understand how you can take advantage of someone, or mock them while they are helping you out. I just want to know where are the good people and why are all the not so good people getting all the attention.
 
I know this belief system of mine has been shaken to the core. However, my main faith may get shaken but is growing stronger everyday.  I think this may be a way for me to be prepared for what I may have to deal with down the road, and I am glad I have been exposed.
 
Moral of the story- I may not be able to trust others, but I will still love them as I would love myself.
