So you know what the future holds now?*

So today I tried to call the doctor to make an appointment (instead of yesterday, which is when I should've) because they said they were open "every day", making no mention of weeks and weekends. The first time I called (after even getting dressed to go out, because I'd do anything to put off making a phonecall), there's a recording in Dutch giving various phone numbers and saying something about, "Out for lunch, back at 2." I called again at 2 and got a different recording saying how they were closed on weekends, and I could call this number if it were an emergency.

So now I don't know what to do, whether to hold out until Monday and pray they can see me before the end of Tuesday (and they can put me on whatever delectable antibiotics I need) or whether to go for the Emergency! side. ( Sickle fails to make good plans and instead goes quietly insane. )

Also, at the Biology Building, I've been twice introduced to new Spanish ladies either working or studying there. One was introduced to me by Moon, the receptionist with whom I speak Spanish because he's trying not to lose the language, because the lady was right there. It went well. The second was introduced to me by my previous supervisor simply because the lady was Spanish and therefore I had to meet her. It didn't go so well, for a number of reasons. ( A girl's gotta rant about something. )

By the way, both my supervisors will be out of the country during my graduation, and any teachers I may have had during this program wouldn't know who I am anyway (they taught me way back in 2007) or aren't Biology teachers, so I will be speechified by the professor who helped me with the computer programs while I was working on my last project. I feel like such a failure for not having anyone.

Furthermore, I had nothing for lunch but the last dregs of the potato sack, fried. It was either than, or pasta again. Or a slice of cheese. I fail at life.

On the plus side: snow.

* theuglyvolvo, here

I can go from zero to GO FUCK YOURSELF faster than a pissed-off New York cabbie*

Okay, this has happened once in my life already, but:

Oh my gods, it's fucking Friday?!?
What the hell?! Has the week been that slow? I thought it was Saturday! But then why couldn't I make an appointment at the doctor's? Why?!? That's fucking it, tomorrow I'm calling the emergency number and getting an appointment at the post in the hospital. I am not waiting two more days with this shite.

Also, I'm bored out of my mind and knitting like a mofo and if I stop even for one second I'm going to cry my eyes out for no discernible reason. And there's no food in the house at all. Again. I have seen no one because I FAIL AT LIFE. Please shoot me.
