So Long, Farewell, I HOPE to be young Again

Last Friday as I was coaching,

I was explaining how I moved back and forth between Canada and Asia,

And well, the conversation after went something like this:

Student: Your parents aren't here???

Me: Nope

Student: How could they let you come here by yourself??

Me: Why not? Lol.

Student: (shocked out of her wits) CUZ YOU'RE JUST A KID!!!!

Me: LOOOOOL!!! No I'm not!!

*****

But Oh! How I wish I was..

I've come to learn how hard it is to manage all these tiny lil things our parents usually take care of.

1. Cleaning

2. Managing  pest control 

3. Taxes

4. Cooking

Etc, etc, etc, 

With the whole bed bug situation, 

My sis and I have been looking into new places that we wanna move in to.

We've found a few and even gone to a showroom. 

Wow..

Things I've never done before. :P

Look for places, compare prices, compare amenities, compare sq. ft.. 

Blah blah blah BLAH!

Oh man!!!

But anyways,

I have to admit, it was kinda fun though. 

To think of all the possibilities! :D :D 

The parties I could throw, the facilities I would take FULL advantage of! 

But everything comes with a price.

Cause later I found out that we need to pay maintenance fees every month.

Basically, the larger the sq. ft. the more expensive. 

Then!

I found out the amount of money to buy a parking spot can buy me a freakin car.

Yes, parking price = price of a car :D :D   

o.O??

Considering I can't even afford a car, I highly doubt I'll be buying any parking spots..

And on top of all those fees,

I still need to pay property taxes!

:D :D :D 

Really?? No wonder there are so many homeless people! Who can afford all this?

Sigh

But I really do want to move.

This place is too tiny, too congested, too infested.

Ugh. 

:C 

Another annoying adult responsibility all my friends have the privilege of their parents doing for them is,

TAXES.

Sigh!

I got them filled last year by a representative, but this year no such luck.

Need to do it myself. X_X

But tax refunds = sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! <3

Anyhow,

Reading week is about gone and my level of productivity = 10! :D

Out of a scale of... 

34798235718746573248917389434

(which is also the amount of money I need to be able to move!)

:I

Good Night, Sleep Tight,

Don't let the bed bugs bite. :D

They weren't kidding. 

Last Friday, 

As I was getting ready for work I saw this HUGE beetle looking thing crawling next to my pillow,

I instantly ran for some cardboard I wanted to recycle,

Scooped it up and smashed it with an old tissue box against the wall.

First of all,

I would like to note that now I am SOOO way more prepared to deal with insects than I use to

And I don't scream unnecessarily anymore.

But it still doesn't mean I'm not scared of them.

ANYWAYS!

By looking at that bug I could tell there was blood in it (the outer lining looked translucent while the body was reddish brown)  

So, when I smacked it, there was tonnes of blood,

But since it was expected, I wasn't too freaked out.

Anyhow,

I rushed off to work and when I came home, looked it up online,

And yes, found that it was indeed a bed bug.

ugh.. feel so gross postin a pic of this here!

Only thing is the one I saw was like their giant counterpart.

I dunno why it was so huge! 

It was the size of a penny (they usually grow to bout the size of rice bugs)

O.O

So, since it was Fri, I had to wait till Monday to report it.

And by then, my sis was covered in bites! :O

I was lucky, didn't have that many and the ones that I did never swelled.

Until lately. 

They are so *%^*&^($%#@*  itchy!!

Way worst than mosquito bites and last way longer!

Anyways,

They could only come spray them on Thur (yesterday)

But before that, we had to take many precautions and do tonnes of stuff!

We had to wrap up ALL clothes, cloths, and everything soft into plastic bags and wash them in high heat!

So a lot of my clothes have shrunk. 

O.O!

On the plus side, the apartment takes care of it so I don't need to pay a dime for the exterminator.

But on the other side,

I have spent almost $100 on laundry and I'm not even half done yet.

And $150 on dry cleaning. 

So now that my apartment is supposedly bug free,

I still can't remove everything from the bags yet cause they still need to monitor it for 4 weeks

4 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!! 

Every Thursday, they'll come and do a checkup!

Which means for  4 WEEKS I can't put everything back to where it belongs.

Just when I thought my house couldn't look any messier. 

However! The floor will be clean since I need to frequently vacuum.

:D

-_-!

And the cherry on top of all of this-

I had an exam today, which I spent

a good 5 hours studying for.

~~~~~Joy~~~~~

And to top EVERYTHING off with sprinkles!

I have another exam on Monday!! 

And to add whatever else people add,

Through all of this my sis had a sprained ankle and tonnes of assignments so she was a lil more useless than usual.

-Productivity fail-

YEEEAAAAAGHHHHHH!!

X_X

I suppose it is a learning experience though. 

Things I wouldn't learn if I still lived with mommy.

But the next time I see one of those darn things, will be too darn soon. 

<3 XOXO
