( Private ; Elena )
School's going to start soon isn't it? I better get back to dean about teaching my own classes. I'm not sure if I'm up for teaching again seeing as what happened. I'm just glad the bloke stopped calling me. I'd have to kick his arse if he kept going on.
Maybe I'll work on a lesson plan. If I don't get it done then I won't teach. I really enjoy my job as it is anyway.
Of course he won't answer his phone. Smartest move he's made but now he's lost something he ruddy well should have kept. His loss. I just hope Elena's going to be all right... [deleted]
I have the night off anyway. I might as well make use of it.

Summer's almost half way over and I'm working it. Looks like it's not so bad. The job is steady, it pays well, and I enjoy myself outside of the occasional customer who is a bit too drunk. Though I keep getting phone calls from some of my old clients. Some complaining that their new hire can't do a job right, and one well... I can't go into too much detail on.
The business isn't the same any more. I kind of miss getting my hands dirty.
Though, I did manage to get four tickets to Hawaii from a dear friend of mine. Too a lot of talking, but he pulled a few strings. We just need a date. What do you say about that, Elena?
Maybe a vacation is what I need to clear my head.

Well, this was a surprise. I never thought I'd see the day and... Oh ruddy hell I can't just hide it can I? I'm giddy and I am...optimistic about this I suppose. I can't say I don't enjoy it. It's nothing I ever thought I'd be doing anything like this any time soon. Steady job, easy pay - staying all in one place without too much of a worry.
Though in all of this excitement, I forgot to ask a very important question. Elena when did you want to take that trip? I might as well give my dear boss a bit of a heads up before we run off to India.
Oh, and speaking of a heads up. Victor, love, Cynthia called in for tomorrow. I don't know what for seeing as Joseph answered the phone, but she won't be in to cover the evening shift. Need an extra hand?

Well if this isn't blood good news. Good thing I have a few connections into some high places - and a few favours that need to be owed. I haven't heard from him in a long while I was worried he forgot. Then again with the kind of night we had I'd be surprised if he did forget. [deleted] I'll have to think of a way to repay him.
Elena I have a surprise for you whenever you have the time. I'm not working tonight so maybe we could make it a girls night out. What do you say?
Oh Victor, some of the bartenders were asking me questions about you. Apparently because I live with you, I should now quite a bit about you. Fancy that I really don't, so they wanted me to ask you when your birthday was. So much for a surprise, but I hear they're pooling together for something nice. I wonder how obvious this is. If I keep playing it cool I won't have to... God look at me. I'm ruddy head over heels for him and I don't know how to stop it. I never thought he'd be my type. [deleted]
I might as well go to the store. I got a few requests for drinks I've never heard of before and I might as well practice.

I guess it wouldn't be the first time I've turned down a date. I bloody well want to keep my job after all. Though I can't seem to find something to do on my days off. I feel so restless, though I'll just have to chalk it up to it almost being the summer. Maybe it's the lack of just exploring the area. Maybe I'll just get away the next time I have consecutive days off.
Maybe I've been doing too much reminiscing. I miss the adventure, the excitement - but I'm certainly enjoying not being shot at.
I'll have to remind myself to keep my mouth shut next time I talk to former students. I just hope they are too drunk to remember what I said about my former employer. Good blokes though despite the fact they were out when they probably should have been studying for finals.
Well...I think it's about time to remove the battery on this phone. Who ruddy knew it would last so long without me charging it?

Well, that was a load of bullshit I hope I don't have to deal with again in the future. I'm going to miss my class, but at least I have a hopeful prospect of next year. The rat bastard will have to figure out where the hell I was in my lesson plans and go from there. At least I can get far away from him as possible.
Victor, looks like I'm free from no until the following semester. When would you like me to start?
And Cross, I must thank you for the wine and company. I certainly helped keep my mind off the bloke.

All right, if he's going to treat me like I am not doing my job, then he can forget about me teaching his class. If my class wants to keep going, they're going to have to start going to Mr. Douglas for questions and answers. Ruddy prick. I may enjoy questionable company, but I don't like being harassed about it. [deleted] His office hours are on Wednesdays at 3:00 PM until about 5:30 PM. Have at it, kids. I bloody hope he enjoys the time he has with you.
I think I'm going to quit and apply for my own position in the next year. That? Or I'm going to take a vacation and find a new job Or go back to what I was doing in the first place. I keep hearing about some new jobs on the market for some new treasure and I hate passing them up. Staying in one place is so strange.. Maybe go to Hawaii and just relax. Lord only knows that the last vacation I was supposed to have turned into another one of those crazy adventures.

I really need to start eating breakfast before I go into class. I've actually been getting some decent sleep lately, though Mr. Douglas has been wanting me to come in earlier and earlier to talk about the lessons. I guess he's having some sort of problem with the way I've been teaching class. I suppose it's because I'm more of a...hands on learner. I never liked just sitting down and taking notes. He started asking about my credentials too. I wonder what the bloody hell I'm going to tell him. Most of my work in the field was plundering and looting tombs. Cause that looks real good on a resume. [deleted]
Maybe I'll go for a walk. I've been feeling cooped up and restless quite a bit lately and maybe a walk would do me some good. It sure beats waiting around for something to come to me. I should really try and find a hobby.
Oh hell my phone is ringing. I better go answer that in case it's Mr. Douglas again.

Well seems like I really know how to treat a girl. I must have had a bit too much if I offended her the way I did. Serves me right I guess, so I better find myself some bloody makeup for this bruise.
That'll be a kicker for my students. Not a story I want to tell them about, but I may as well just make something up. Maybe I was hit by a door or something. I don't know, but least it's not too noticeable. I think. I should just go see if the store is open before I go to bed.
I should just stick to teaching. Least it keeps my mind occupied.

Oh fuck me and my fucking brilliant ideas.

[06 Feb 2010|03:09am] |
Students aren't really all that bad now that I am actually doing the teaching. I'm finding myself enjoying teaching more and more. I wonder if I should have done this when I went to school. I guess I wouldn't have had so much fun with those bloody trips across the world though. I can't help but wonder what I'd be doing with my life if I stayed in Sydney.
I can't help but wonder why I am wondering in the first ruddy place. I'll chalk it up to being cooped up in one place for this long. I can't remember a time where I stayed in a city more than a few weeks. Maybe I'm feeling anxious. I could always try and get away for a weekend and just explore for a bit, but I've got papers to grade from the quiz we had last class.
...not to have time to explore. I never thought I'd say that. Maybe I'll take a weekend off sometime in the future and rent a car to just drive somewhere.

You know, finding a safe place for the fabergé egg has been rather difficult. Maybe I should wrap it and put it away so I don't have to worry about knocking it over or breaking it. Taking it to my class the other day was nice considering it was certainly worth while to talk about the history behind it. The fact that this was one of the lost eggs... my goodness. I can't seem to stop looking at the damn thing it's so beautiful.
Oh hell, I feel like a child getting a new toy. I can't even thank him enough either. It was really sweet... [deleted]
I better start working on those lesson plans for next week. This whole teaching business is easier than I thought it would be. I never saw myself actually teaching anyone about the treasure I used to look for, but it's different. A good different at that.
Say, Cross, I cannot thank you enough for dinner. It was lovely and I certainly wouldn't mind making a habit out of it. You were right. It certainly did beat reading a book.
Oh say, Elena? How is that business with Kali coming along? I was planing on going to the bookstore this weekend for a few things and I thought I could look and see if there are some books you'd like me to grab.

Of all the things I get in to trouble with. Maybe if I actually sit down and figure out what I want to do with myself then I'll be fine. I could go do other things, like go to the movies, or maybe go to dinner every now and then. Or just stay at home and read a book.
Yeah that'll work. Reading a book. I'll just go by the library and pick up a few things so I can keep myself at home. Though with my luck I'll just end up in his bed. What do I have to do to avoid him? Bloody asshole is what he is but I can't help but wonder about it. If we only have sex when I'm drunk, what the hell sort of sex are we having?! [deleted]
I better start grading these tests. They've been on my desk since I collected them. After that well.... I'll start doing something else. Oh say, Elena I'm heading to the library, did you need anything while I'm over there?

All right, I don't know what kind of friend you think I am, Victor, but it has to stop. Which means I need to stop letting Elena go with me to the bars. If I go home with a man at least I don't end up in Victor's bed. [deleted]
Arnold I must say that these directives are...interesting. You really didn't have to get this for me, but I suppose it's not like I can turn down a gift. I still haven't figured out what to get you. I'll work on that.
Seems like Mr. Douglas is adamant in me taking over his class this semester. A good plan, sure, but I'm really not certain I'm ready. He seems encouraging maybe a bit too much so I should at least give it a shot.
Right then. I better start digging out some of those artifacts I own and the books I have. Can't bullshit everything after all.

Oh of all the bloody things to happen, I thought that was a great idea. Not exactly what I wanted to start the new year off with. It won't happen again.
Though I have to say, Elena, this is one warm jacket. It's nice when I find myself walking late at night on campus. Walking alone. At night, well obviously that's asking for trouble. I can't thank you enough for the lovely gift. I think it's going to get quite a bit of use.
Speaking of lovely gifts, Vlad this perfume is bloody wonderful! I will have to make it up for you seeing as you're very difficult to shop for. What do you say about spending a night out? I cannot thank you enough for such a generous gift and I'd much rather like to use it at least once.
Then after I might as well start preparing for the next semester. Mr. Douglas has some idea's and I'm not sure if I'm prepared to take on an entire class myself. I just hope these idea's of his aren't anything too outrageous.

I didn't think that people would get so violent on the holidays. Isn't this the time of year to be thankful for what you've got and not what you're going to get? I didn't think I'd get bloody sucker punched for getting a gift for a friend. I should start planning my Christmas shopping, what, months early just to find a gift? I better start working on that sort of business now while I have my wits about me.
I keep forgetting I'm not in Australia, on that note. It's bloody cold outside and I need to remember to wear a jacket. I bet it's pretty warm and sunny back home, and I really want to throw something on the barbie but I might as well just cook in doors.
Which means I better go to the store and pick up something for dinner tommorrow rather than take Mr. Douglas' offer for a warm meal and a drink. Elena you want to come over for dinner?

Well that's one more number I need to block off my cell phone. At this rate it looks like I might need to change my phone number again. It's a good thing that I have an excuse not to go out with him tonight.
And Mr. Douglas seems to have some extra work for me. He really seems adamant on getting me to drop by his office this late at night. It wouldn't be the first time someone wanted me to visit after hours. I better make sure that those papers he wanted me to grade were finished. I feel like a secretary rather than a teaching assistant. Those kids really know how to bullshit a paper, that's for certain. Anthropology isn't just about dates. Though I wonder if I should brush up on a few of them myself.
I can't help but feel bored with this. Maybe this whole teaching gig isn't the type of break I needed. Maybe I'm a little envious of Nate running off on some grand adventure. Sounds just like old times and I can't help but wonder what sort of mess he's getting himself into. [deleted]
Damnit. I told myself it was fine. Besides... I rather like Elena anyway. [deleted]
Say Elena, have you done any Christmas shopping yet?

Well. That was unexpected. Vlad it was quite the pleasure to meet you. Do you mind me calling you Vlad? If you'd like to get together again sometime I don't think I could say "no". On that topic, Arnold I should apologise. Oh boy, I can't believe I am going to write this. [deleted] I will try to be more quiet if things of this nature happen again. Or at least warn you.
With that, I better start on writing that test. Assisting this teacher wasn't the what I had in mind when I signed myself up for this. Though I guess it beats staring down the barrel of a gun.
I better make some coffee, it's going to be a long night.

Well it seems I'm off to a great start. I thought starting over was supposed to be easy, though I guess you can't change who you are or what you've done.
My name is Chloe Frazer, I'll be teaching Anthropology starting...well starting soon. I think I have some unfinished business to attend to first. Such as making sure all these bloody boxes are moved into my room. Let's see...Cosmos East? Rimmer, and I-No. Those are right unusual names, but I look forward to sharing a living space with you. As much as I look forward to doing bloody nothing but teach kids.
Ah, right then. Back to business. If you need anything from the store then let me know now, as I'll be out the door in a moment.
