I'd hate to bring my journal down after such a happy last post, but D: Facebook decided to disable my account for no reason that I can discern. I used to be just a casual user of Facebook, but since I got here I've been checking it everytime I go on the internet, as it is the best/only way I can stay connected to Chicago and all of my friends, especially since no one is ever online. Also, it is the only way I can connect with the Japanese students from the other campus I met the other day. Now they will think I am ignoring their friend requests or ignoring their messages to the ones I already friended. So this news was highly upsetting to me.
But wait, there's more! So I thought, hey, this has to be some kind of mistake, I'll just send an appeal to them and maybe they'll give my account back to me. The instructions are to send an email through the email address I signed up for Facebook with which is my school email that I never use. So I gave it try. Wrong Password. All right fine I guess I just forgot it. So I tried the Forgot Password link and got this message:
Your permission to have your password changed online has been denied. Please visit an ID Card Office. (7) (48,30002)
WTF? I can't visit an ID Card Office I'm in Japan you bastards! So I try to sign into Campus Connect, which is where I change classes, pay for Tuition, and do everything else important for my university. Same message. Fuck, when did this happen?!! So now I got to send emails to staff complaining which I hate. But damn it I need to keep track of my tuition this year because I actually have to pay for it now. The whole thing blows. I sent the email yesterday and got a response back today saying the sent the email to another office that can help me. *sigh* This is going to take awhile isn't it?
I feel so....lonely. It doesn't help that I am sitting in the lounge alone in the corner and none of my friends I made in Japan are here. And that one girl from my Body/Comm class that is here every morning Skyping with her family or whoever was sitting across from me for the longest time. Egh. Damn homesickness. I had a bunch of weird upsetting dreams as well and an embarrassing morning at my homestay that I shall not get into but is also working against any potential toward a good mood. I need some sweets or something to cheer me up. All I have are these weirdly shaped chips that are pretty good just awkward to eat. Well once class starts I'm sure I will feel better. And I have Shuwa (sign language) club today!
Hope to have a happier update soon.
ETA: Oh, oh and (since there are already a ton of other complaints might as well add more) all the Star Trek books I thought I downloaded to my computer (there were supposed to be like over 100) are gone! There's only like 5 now, and 3 are from series I haven't watched and 1 is just the novelization of the movie. D: I'm afraid to download anything here because the school is so strict on its illegal downloading and my computer is on the verge of being full (the icon is all red). And I just finished my bag of awkward chips. FFFFFFF-
There are also three Japanese girls sitting with me now for the sole reason that there is no where else to sit. It's worse than being alone.
But! I did get messages from the GQMFs living in Japan about our Star Trek geek out day so yay! Some happy news! :)
