Happy holidays vs Merry Christmas?
December 24th, 2006I don’t even know which one to go with, apparently Christmas is a Christian holiday, but quite honestly it’s been so damn commercialized that it’s more of a Hallmark holiday and it even counts as a national holiday so I guess people shouldn’t be offended by Merry Christmas…. Of course I still say happy holidays unless the other person has said Christmas to begin with. I’m also the person that goes says African-American instead of black…..
Anyhow, month of December I’ve racked on more credit card bills to pay. The one in the mail today was $2800 something : /. So because of this I’ve decided to ditch winter session, well partly because of my lack of money and partly because they want me to pay extra fees and go through hoops to sign up for some basic classes. I did finally somehow trick the UDSIS to add one of the classes I wanted, but they want to charge a late fee plus a winter session student health fee! I don’t want to pay a late fee for something that’s not late! And I really hate that student health fee, I do have insurance so my insurance would cover those health things, but no UD makes me pay separate mandatory fee >:[. For the class I couldn’t add, they wanted me to sign up as a continuing education, fax in the registration for that and select out of state so that I would pay nearly twice as much! I suppose I could make a fuss and perhaps get things straighten out to my satisfaction, but it’s cold and I just don’t feel like it. The 2 failing grades killed my GPA, and I’m below a 3.0 which is not acceptable…
I should be looking forward to my roommate going in a few days, but he apparently didn’t get the idea and wants to stay for a while longer! I’ve insinuated, suggested, and just done everything except tell him to get the fuck out of my house. The boy just doesn’t get the idea and I’ve shown him ads of other places he can move to and even offered to help pack! I honestly couldn’t be any clearer… The latest incompetence is he somehow disabled the sink stopper in the down position. I have no idea why or how, but he complained because he was just to inept to fix it himself. I wasn’t going to do it because the last time he got it stuck, he had all sorts of nasty hair in there…. Luckily my brother came over and was able to fix it in matter for a few minutes! Now, something is wrong here, this college graduate is outwitted by someone who hasn’t even finished high school! And because he has asked me twice to fix something that he broke, I took away the sink stopper and gave him a plastic stopper that has a chain to pull it out. Of course, he wanted to complain about that. When you can use adult sink equipment, I’ll be happy to put it back, but for now you get the child safety plastic one…
Since he isn’t planning on vacating at then end of the lease agreement (12/28), his rent has been increased by $50 and then another $50 next month. He has the nerve to complain and wants to talk to my dad because that’s his “landlord” about it. My dad is the landlord on paper, but seriously what kinda dip head is he? He is lucky that I’m even letting him stay, and he is getting a break on this month’s rent because I should be increasing it by the full $100 this month.
Worst yet, he stole the neighbor’s Victoria Secrets catalog! Ok, maybe he didn’t do it intentionally, but he never took it back! So, for one of his Christmas gifts, I put a Victoria’s Secret card for a free pair of panties inside an IPod gift card holder. Hehe….
