Yeah I talked to another friend and he said there didn't look like an end in sight :/ I hope this isn't like the holidays where this lasts for a month!!
At least it's your profession so you've been trained, but I still worry!! And I won't. My flat mate was walking home at night by himself. >.< Thankfully he isn't anymore but I really had to badger him!
My friend is going to teach me self defense too! I'm excited for it...right now I just have a small can of pepper spray to keep me safe!
