Monday afternoon after studying for my midterm, my friend and I get on the bus to go home. We get to the bottom of the mountain and all of the sudden the wheels start smoking, (the wheels are spinning and we aren't going anywhere) and the bus breaks down. Basically I have to take a 20 minute hike to the top of the hill to the next bus stop on our route. I go to school on the top of a mountain, we come down the mountain and immediately have to go up a hill for me to get home.
Tuesday morning I had an 8:30am midterm immediately followed by a quiz. I completely blanked on the last page of my midterm (there goes 5 marks), and I didn't do so well on my quiz either because I was so freaked out about studying for my midterm before hand. Tuesday night I finished a paper and went to bed thinking that this week could only get better. But I was wrong.
Today is my sleep in day (so it started off well), so I got up and went to school as usual. I went to class handed in my paper and because my professor wasn't there we watched a documentary (so I didn't have to take notes at all). Well to be honest there was a documentary playing in the background and I surfed the web and chatted with friends. So the day was going well. Until I got home.
When I got home I got a phone call from the salon that I bought a spa package from for myself as well as one for my sister for Christmas. I assumed they were calling me to confirm my appointment for Saturday. However, I was mistaken. They were calling me to inform me that they had hired two companies to promote and sell this spa package that I had purchased. One of the companies had made extra copies of the gift certificates, sold them and kept the money. Long story short, my name wasn't on the list of they received from the legitimate company and I had been ripped off. So my Christmas gift for my sister was now worthless. But they also told me not to worry, this company is now being sued (by multiple salons) and investigated by the police for fraud. Also the manager is offering to give me a coupon for 50% off any service of my choosing and same for my sister, but either way I'm still being ripped off, and I'm still out over $100. I do realize that in the long run that's not actually loads of money, but I still feel stupid (even though I had no possible way of knowing) and cheated.
Plus tomorrow is an early day for me. Not only that, but my sister flies out to go visit her boyfriend and she is going to get up at 5am and shower, which means I should be woken up by the sound of her blow drying her hair at approximately 5:25am. I'd say that I can't wait until this week is over, but that would mean that it would be Valentines day and yet again I would be all alone on Valentines day. Maybe I should start a "Lonely Heart's Club?"
