this has been one of the worst weeks for a long time. today especially. so, as some of you will know, our landlord has been in breach of contract for a while now, telling us the house would be renovated by the 1st of september. it wasn't. it's still not completely done really. but for the first month and half of living here, there were builders coming most days and not doing a lot frankly, except disturbing us. he wouldn't give us compensation. even when we got the student union invloved. he has decided to put the rent up next year. we've pretty much given up the fight now, we can't do anything about any of it. so, one of us can't afford to live here next year, so we're trying to decide what to do.
kate has gone home ill, with some sort of disease in her joints. she's basically been trying to take over the whole situation, emailing the landlord without asking any of us, all sorts. and now she's at home she can't handle not being involved. she sent us all an email about how our landlord is such a bullshitter and that we don't really care about what he says blah and so on. she sent it to him too. so now, we are in such deep shit. after i've spent all this week not doing my essay so i can try and take over sorting everything out, looking at other landlords, other houses, every opportunity we could take instead.
and i've spent the whole of today, after finding this out this morning, just wallowing. i feel so much like ... it doesn't matter how much effort i put in to things, it all just gets pulled out from underneath me anyway, right when i least need it. i can't concentrate, i can't do any work, phizer have taken six months to decide how much it's gonna cost me for their car i hit in the summer, and now they want just over a grand in less than two weeks. i'm so poor as it is. everything is just collapsing inward, in to the abyss.
*sigh*
