today's daily wisdom quote that was sent to my email said:
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.- Proverbs 14:30, New International Version
yes, i hear you Dear Lord. give me strength to not go crazy here. I'm starting to hate it here in Calgary. Now now, don't let the happy pictures fool you, I'm suppose to send them home to the family - which I haven't done BECAUSE i have
priorities. and the highest thing on my list of priorities is
TO FIND A PLACE TO STAY!i swear, trying to find housing is
the shits. i'm looking for a place that's near to a bus stop (if best, near to my school), which is FEW and FAR between. ugh. that's just the beginning. add the fact that the public transportation system is not efficient BECAUSE no one here likes to take the bus BECAUSE apparently everything is WALKING DISTANCE. wth. if you don't take the damn bus, there is no reason to IMPROVE the system! people, PLEASE... JUST TAKE THE DAMN BUS!
i tried walking from the train station to this person's house because the ad online said it's WALKING DISTANCE (5 minutes, he said over the phone.) i walked and walked and WALKED for hell's sake I WALKED, and i didn't get to his place until 15 minutes later. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!
then other people say it's walking distance from his place to the mall. it's CLOSE BY, they say. i gave it a shot. it's 14 BLOCKS away!!! 14 blocks! it's not a 10m block, it's 4-6 houses per block! you do the math. just so you know, i gave up after 3 blocks, so i waited 17 minutes for the bus at the nearest bus stop i could find. they say here, the time taken waiting for the bus is like walking to your destination. it probably is, but i don't give a shit. not yet anyway. maybe one day i'll wake up and realise that i LOVE walking and i'd walk anywhere - but it ain't now nor would it happen anytime soon trust me.
yes, i am angsty and very angry. and very much missing my friends in SG. the weather here's too cold and i still can't find housing. okay. i HAVE to go back to my search for the next best accommodation, or i'll be without a roof. and still be mad at the transportation system here. ugh. save me.
