It is Wednesday...not even 2pm and I have already had a very eventful day. And when I say eventful...I don't mean a good eventful.
I was completely prepared for a full day of classes today. I had my bag filled with about 30 pounds of books and my laptop. My plan was to spend all day on campus, 12-8.
I got to campus to find out that the internet wasn't working on campus. The entire thing is shut down. I needed to study for my mythology quiz after my first class. I needed to get onto the John Cabot website to look at study images my professor had posted. Since I couldn't get on the internet, I decided I would come back to my apartment for the 2 hour break I have between classes. Turns out the trams weren't running because of some protest. Lovely. I waited for awhile hoping one would show up...nope.
My next thought was to take the H bus...which brings me pretty close to were I need to be. Of course that never came either. By this time I was already annoyed and impatient. To add to it....an Italian man came up to me. He said he was from Italia and asked where I was from. I told him I was from America and he grabbed my hand and started kissing it! Then he asked if I had a boyfriend and I said "Yes!"...while flipping him off with my ring finger, which has my cladaugh ring on it. I ripped my hand away and stormed away.
So I walked to the next tram stop and realized that I was not going to walk all the way back to my apartment with my 80 pounds of crap. SO I waited for the tram. Which when it finally came a half hour later, it was crammed packed. But I got on anyway.
Now I am back at the apartment...can't be in my room because Bliss is sick and skipping class. Bliss has also taken over the entire "living room." It is filled with all of her stuff and her snorkie rags. I consider it completely infected. Therefore, I am sitting in the kitchen...which is dirty. I can't even put my laptop on the table because it is filled with rotting crap.
I am trying to get onto the John Cabot website, which is apparently not working anymore. I guess if the internet on campus doesn't work...neither does their website. So now I can't study the images for my quiz in mythology. I am guessing that the internet won't start working anytime soon...therefore I am likely to fail the quiz, since I have no idea what is going to be on it.
Now I am sitting in our dirty kitchen...annoyed...and not getting anything I needed to get done done. I have two exams this week and 4 papers to write within the next month. And they are not short little papers...shortest one is 5 pages. All requiring scholarly research using the databases on the John Cabot library website. Which of course...I can't access either because of the internet.
Hopefully my day starts to get better rather than worse.....
