This last week has been really, well, emotional. Some of it was really nice, other things I could have done without.
Last weekend I finally decided that I would not move to Winti and that I will stay for another year with my parents and enjoying a two-hour train ride everyday. Once this decision was taken I wanted some action. Because the situation was strange. I moved back to my parents already in summer 2005 but it was always viewed temporarily and I still somehow felt like a guest. I didn't have a room. First I slept in the guestroom but then my Mum told me that she wanted to be able to have guests staying over again so I moved to my brothers' room as he had moved out. But it still was that, my brothers' room. So last weekend we cleaned and emptied the (children) desk and opened an account to sell it at Ricardo.ch (same as E-bay). While I was studying, my brother and my father went to Ikea to buy two bookshelves and a desk. Now I am able to study in that room and I also have all of my books etc in my room. My room. Sounds really cool. Now I just need some more pictures on the wall and then I am fine. It's really nice to have "my" own room....
But there was also a sad story connected to that. Two years ago, before I left for Ecuador I gave up my apartment and moved back into with my parents. Of course I could not keep everything that I owned. So I sold some items and gave others to some friends. Kitchen equipment but also furniture. I gave two of my bookshelves and my garden furniture (table) to a friend who had just moved out and needed things. We agreed that she would keep them until I need them or then she would be pay me some money later if I couldn't use them anymore. So far so good. Unfortunately I don't have any written proof of that agreement, given the fact that she is friend. But as you surely already guessed, I should have kept a written note. Because she does not want to pay me now. She behaved very childish, telling me that it is unfair of me addressing her now after all that time and that she will not pay. Although another friend of mine was there, when we discussed that she still claims that we didn't have such an agreement. I still feel sad when I think about that. It's not a lot of money, and it's also not only about the money. What bothers me most is the fact that she completely refuses to talk about it at all!
And then there is university. It's really unbelievable, it's such a mess. Next semester we have the possibility to choose from a range of subjects. Which is really nice and I was thrilled when I saw the list. Even though the process already was very tiring at the end I was happy. But last week they told us about the courses the cancelled. Most of them! Because they didn't have enough applications. I could live with that because they told us from the beginning that it would be like that. I had to choose another Spanish diploma now (a lower level) but that might be good because my grammar is really bad so it might be good for me. :-) I am sure poor Laura knows what I mean ;-).
But there is one thing that I can not understand and that I will not take, just like that. I already told you about my plans for India. Well, who knows if they will come true! The cancelled the course but when I asked the teacher in charge he told me that he was not informed and that he wants to DO that course. A couple of hours later he tells me that they got the ok and that they just need to handle some administrative tasks. So I don't do anything. The next day I get another email from a girl who wants to do the same course only that she was told that it will NOT take place!?! I mean, hello?! School of Management?! They can't be serious, they must be joking right? This is really so unprofessional, I mean imagine if we would work like that or even if I would behave like that! I am still furious. It is so embarrassing. Really. Of course now all the nice options are already taken and there is no more space available. So I am stuck now with things that I didn't want to do just because I believed what I was told by a teacher? I really don't think so! I will definitely not sit back and let that happen. I will talk to them, that's for sure!
Ok this post is getting way too long so I stop it here. I will let you know what happens. The last word has not yet been spoken in none of the above matters...
