moving house is stressful
specially when you've got bad karma like me
i mean i knew that moving day would be messed up, but whoa it was really really bad,
it all started cos the shitty previous tenants (brit boys) decide they wanted to move out at 7.30 PM on the very last day, and not 12 noon like all other normal people in the whole of bloody southampton. seriously, and they were god damn rude about it too, like gimme a break larh...stupid uni dropouts
anyway, even though it was late, i was pretty optimistic i could move all my stuff thru the night, and also early the next morning, so that my room would be clear when the hall wardens came to kick me out ony july 1st...but then suddenly the stupid Paki landlord decides NOT to show up for the handover, so we just got the keys from the very unhelpful previous tenants, who nicely inform us that they have cut the GAS, ELECTRICITY, and WATER(!!!) because they're too stingy to pay for another few hours of utilities!!! and they did this fully knowing that we were moving in on the same day!!
so basically, I had to move alll my stuff IN THE DARK , since it was already evening , and of course the electric/gas/water offices weren't open...
anyway, with all the stress of moving my stuff, plus friends who wanted to put their stuff in my room , suddenly this housemate of mine calls me up and starts arguing bout the rent....!!! basically she has a HUGE ASS ROOM which is really nice, and it has a fireplace and all!! and she wants to pay the same price as me, even though my room is so much smaller I was just so god damn mad and stressed...was just crying in my room...sometimes i really hate the fucking brits, and it just came to a point where i wanted to forfeit my room in the house, and just move back into halls again...
and then, there was this guy yea...he's seriously always been a user, but its' never really bothered me much, since i've started ignoring him since first year...but basically he calls me and says he wants to keep his stuff in my new room to save on storage prices...well i agreed, since no one was staying in my room for summer anyway...and the thing is , everyone has gone back home already, and he n i were the only ones left, so i thought it'd be good to have company when i'm moving my stuff, plus he;s a GUY so he can help right?! then suddenly on moving day itself, he calls me in the morning, says he has booked a bus ticket to london,and says he's coming over to my hall room to put a 2 boxes so i can move it for him!!! oh my god i was just soooo fucking pissed, i told him that he could take it straight to my new house, cos i had lotsa stuff myself to move , but he was like, oh no i have no time i have to catch my bus....fuck himlarh, the bus was at 2 pm , and when he called me it was fucking 10 am..and my new house is just 15 minutes away from the halls!! but yea, he just came over, when I was damn stressed and all...n was like thanks Lin, you're so nice!! fucking asshole!! couldn't wait till evening to go to london to see his gf...I can;t believe he dumped his stuff for me to move!! and I'm a girl summore, and not a very strong one at that!! and he knew i had to do all this myself!!! and this is the very same guy who came to me for help in 1st year, simply cos he was FAILING out of our course since he always skipped classes...and yea, he's a scholarship holder and malay despite only getting 1 A in A levels ...and his dad's a diplomat...its not like they're poor!! gahhh I really have to learn to say NO to these people..~
ok where was I? oh yes, a house, no water, no heating, no electricity...very stressed, moving stuff for 6 hours on the first day ( no not all my stuff, mostly friend's stuff) and then for another 7 hours the next day!! ( all of which was on foot) cos the guy who gave me a lift the previous day (thank you eric!) went to scotland 
yes, i think i have too much stuff honestly....but oh well
then the electric company was like, oh we can't connect till 3 days later bla bla bla thts when i had a nervous breakdown in my room...frankly cos it suddenly struck me that i couldn't brush my teeth tht night due to lack of water and also i couldn't charge my phone...hmmm funny how the random things can bend u over...
then on my last and final trip from the hall to my new house ( n i was just thinking, oh god finally its going to be over) , I locked myself OUT of the house!!!!!
and the last trip involved my transferring all my frozen foods as well!! In the end, I was just at this unbelievably depressed mode that i just sat under the stairs of my hall, with my bags of frozen fridge food, and cried... cos i couldn't get into the house, and my house mate was not picking up his handphone...and i knew he was researching in his lab till late evening...
the funny thing was i didn't look at all out of place, cos all the other asian students were moving too ,and they all looked equally stressed (since unlike local students, we don't have parents with big cars to help!) , and i think lotsa girls i met had cried too due to stress lol so we were all in like the same boat together
at least, i had really good people in the end who helped me pull thru (god it sounds like i'm giving birth or sumthing equally dramatic) but i'm really thinkful they were there for me...and at the end of the i guess i really have good friends! man i've come a long way from being a newbie in southampton
