behold the world's worst accident;
Last semester, a professor told me that no place in the world is paradise. You may want to think it is, but it's like a garden - it can be amazing, but you'll still have to pull out the weeds when they grow.
I've found the proverbial 'weeds' in my 'garden' of Amsterdam.
►The RA's are horrible. The common room was locked (which it shouldn't be during the day, ever) and so I knocked on one of our RA's doors. The first thing she said to me?
"I'm not on duty right now."
EXCUSE YOU I DON'T GIVE A FUCK, HELP ME OUT. Your job is to be there for me, not to be a bitch. So I find out the guy whose on duty and go to his door. I knocked three times, he never answers. I go back up about 10 minutes later, knock on his door a few more times. Still no answer.
Uhm, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. If you're on duty you should ANSWER THE DOOR. Holy shit. All I wanted was to get the chili powder and some dried herbs from the common room. Why are you doing this to me.
►I cannot find a fucking bike. They're all either not my size, or they cost 200euro. I looked at the market & used products, but they were both Useless. I'm so ready to buy roller skates off Amazon and call it a fucking day.
►My feet hurt :I
Also I'm mad tired from walking around because I walked from the IES building for a book for Dutch Language&Culture (only 40euro instead of 90 yay) and then I went back because I thought I had a meeting but it's actually tomorrow. Oops. Then I went to Waterlooplein to see if they had bikes and hahaha what a joke.
►I'm going to have to take the bus to Centraal (1euro) and then walk to my class (which is 20-30 minutes from there), then do the same thing on the way back. FML. The class is two hours too lfmalmfsdo dear god THIS IS WHY I NEED A BIKE OR ROLLER SKATES
DOING THIS ALL THE TIME WILL KILL ME
OR MAKE ME BROKE
WHICHEVER.
