Day 19: PRAYING FOR PATIENCE!!!

There are four days til Ev's birthday! I have no idea what to get him, but it's going to count as both a souvenir and a birthday present bro, sorry :).

Anyways, a pretty boring day...I went to my only class at noon after skyping mom and the kids briefly. Then I ran back to my room to grab a bite to eat and then went to go get on the bus to go to my tutorial at the Arts Gallery in the city centre...unfortunately, I jumped the gun on the bus and got on the wrong one! I rode for over an hour in the completely wrong direction and got motion-sickness from reading to try to distract myself. Lovely. I finally got on the right bus and made it to the Arts Gallery, where I chatted with a Psychiatrist Professor on Sabbatical and his sister, both originally from England, but the sister lives both in England and France. He is a teacher at a college in San Diego, California. It was a fairly brief conversation, but it broke the monotony of the day and was good to have some human interaction with such an interesting man. He said he'd just been from Australia, and also visited India and rode down the Nile in Egypt. AWESOME! Anyways, I stood around staring at pictures for my tutorial, then walked down to the Central library and used their internet. Apparently, they put a limit on how much you can use, and I used all of it in about an hour. Whoops. Then I realized I was going to be way late for my tramping club meeting, so I grabbed a bite to eat at KFC (I know how American right?) and rode the bus back. I was so late that I didn't end up going to the meeting, but came back to my room hoping to settle down with a good movie and some hot tea. However, my cup is missing, one I specifically bought so I wouldn't have to share with my flatmates. Selfish, yes, but I'm beyond the point of caring. So, I'm rather irritated at that, and the fact that I still can't move! AND my new cell phone keeps telling me I have no credit even though I paid an extra $20 for credit!!! UGH!!! So, the mixture of everything negative has finally gotten to me today and I'm extremely close to the edge of a meltdown, which I have thus far held off. It's 8:45 exactly, so I'm just going to pop in a movie and let the rest of the night disappear. If you're in the mood to pray, please pray that my living situation gets moving ASAP and that I can be out of this place and somewhere that I'm actually comfortable moving around in!!! Oh, and did I mention that my flatmates have a TON of people over tonight and I have an 8 a.m.? Awesome. Ok, forgive me for complaining and being negative. Now that's all out, I'm done. But at least on here, if you don't want to read it, then don't. I can release the stress by typing it though. Ok, off to a movie and bed. Hopefully my mug will turn up soon...sweet dreams everyone! Love and miss you all!
