So... Our cable has been broken off and on for the past few days. We thought we had it fixed, but now we don't get showtime and the HBO on demand isn't working. The comcast guy said there was a reason, but since my room mate is the one who set up the account he isn't allowed to tell me about billing information. The majorly disconcerting problem about this? I am the one who paid the bill. So basically, I'm assuming that when we cancelled the home phone the bundle thing that included showtime was cancelled and now we can't afford it.
So right now there is a long weekend from school, and I will have one day of class this week and another even longer weekend (for Rosh Hashanna... I go to a Jewish school), and I have no cable. I don't know anyone in town except my roommates, and I'm getting burned out on homework. I don't have any money right now (none extra anyways) because my financial aid check hasn't cleared yet so I can't go out. I literally have nothing to do except sit and stare at my roommate. Iyleen is... well she's nice, but we have very little in common. She's majoring in public policy and kind of looks down on English majors. She comes from a lot of privilege and money, and she has no idea what my life has been like and doesn't understand my perspective on anything.
I'm so far away from everyone I care about and everything that is safe and familiar. I'm dealing with problems I have never had to deal with before, and I'm in a long distance relationship. This is an insane time in my life. How the hell will I make it through this year?
