When Today Was A Shitty Day
MM was supposed to call today, but he didn’t. I was really hoping he would because I wanted to spend some more time with him, but sadly, no.
Today I was able to fill up one more box and clean out a couple others. I just hope that all of my crap fits into the car. So far, I’ve packed away two boxes and I think I still need at least one more to fit all the miscellaneous junk in before I go.
But why is today a shitty day? That, my dear readers, is because today, I hopped on a bus (okay, two buses) that took about an hour to get to the junior college I attended this fall, only to find out that I could’ve gotten what I thought I needed to do there at home. There was only one thing that could have been done in person, but bah. Whatever. Then, I hopped on another bus from that school to go to Border’s in search of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. I had read it before and loved it, but I wanted SB to read it too, mainly so he could stop calling Edward a stalker. Anyway, so I got to Border’s hopped on over to the Young Adult section to find it… not there. I asked a sales associate and she walked right over to where I had been standing just a few moments before, looked around, and told me, despite the fact that the system said that there was at least one copy available in the store, she could not locate it.
Desperate for having traveled so far (yes, traveling by bus is far because it takes forever), I stood in the YA section for a good twenty minutes, checking each shelf, nook and cranny. I even looked in the YA sci-fi section too, but no luck. Despite my being so disappointed, I decided to give the new fiction section a look, and to my surprise, there it was. The last copy. (I think) It was gleaming at me, so much that I snatched it before anybody else could look at it.
And now, the book sits in my hands. Oh the glorious book.
Okay, so my day wasn’t all that crappy, but up until I had found the book, it was. Especially because the buses I sat on the longest were crowded and had smelly people (yuck). And I was still bummed out by MM not calling me, which reminded me of KM because KM has been weird with me lately and I don’t know why, but no longer care to know why.
Also, this morning was quite frustrating as well. I called the financial aid office at Berkeley to inquire the reason as to why my grants had not transferred into my account, and the man tells me that it will be taken care of soon, before the 15th when my bill is due. I searched OfficeDepot’s website in hopes of finding their return policy, but apparently, they decided not to post that online, so I had to call and talk to some slow lady over a bad connection.
It was still a somewhat productive day, but also tiring and frustrating.
What really takes the cake is that my daddy dearest decided to have a small chat with me, telling me that I am expected to come home every weekend. EVERY weekend. You have no idea how much I would like to scream outside of my skin right now. He says the reason for this demand is to ensure that I will study and focus. He claims that it will save me time because I will bring food back to my apartment, which will lessen the time I need to cook… like I cook. Ha! I throw chicken in the toaster and call it dinner.
But yes, still a shitty day despite my being excited that there’s going to be a movie for Twilight and many sequels to come.
