Dorm life is draggin' me down!

WOW. I never realized how exhausting moving into a dorm would be!! The last three years, i've been living on campus however, not in a dorm. I was doing dorm duty outside of my apt a couple days a week. In that respect, being in the dorm is great b/c i don't have to leave my house to do duty. HOWEVER, it means that kids are constantly knocking on my door, even on nights that i'm not on duty. And b/c they're freshman, they are understandably more needy than other kids. Most of the time I don't mind it, but for some reason this past week I hit my limit. I think the last straw was wednesday night. brian and i just got back from dinner with his parents (getting out of the dorm for a few hours felt great), we weren't home 5 minutes when a girl knocked on the door to my "study". I was debating whether or not to answer it (sounds bad but trust me, you wouldn't have wanted to either) all of a sudden i hear her calling my name, SHE LET HERSELF INTO MY APT. brian and i looked at each other in total disbelief. in what world is it ok to let yourself into someones apt uninvited!? I don't think i would have been AS ticked off if i hadn't dealt with a total wuss at work that day (they don't make football players like they used to). I was just so fed up with this place at that point. So I went into my study and asked what she wanted and told her i wasn't on duty. she wanted her mid term grades b/c they just came out...these kids and their obsession with grades! i guess it comes with the prep school reputation. So i told her i would find her when i was settled since we just got home. I went to her room with her grades, and asked what she was thinking walking into my apt. her response "well i knocked". I said "yes you did, and did i answer??" It just goes to show that when you live where you work and work where you live, no space is really your own! Just something I have to get used to...but let me tell you...these girls will get used to the fact that my space is my space, pretty sure after our little talk, she won't be doing that again. just thought i would vent. I like my job though, I really do. I think for the last three years though i've kind of just been hanging out, freeloading almost. Now, i'm earning my keep thats for sure!
