More minor rants from today:
-I overslept and missed the bus to make it to my first lecture which is from a lecturer that I don't like to miss since she goes into more detail during the class than what are in the notes.
-I quickly got ready to try to make it to the second class, barely missed the first bus (it drove past as I was walking to the stop). So I find another bus and get to the second bus stop (I have to take 2 buses each morning to get to school) while the bus is there, run up to the bus and the bus driver ignores me and drives away... 😡 So I miss the second lecture which was also given by the same lecturer above.
-I am waiting for the bus to head home (second bus) and there is another lady waiting with me when suddenly the bus comes flying past, doesn't slow down and does not stop for us. So, we have to wait 15 more minutes for the next bus to come. Not a big deal since I was just going home, but I was already fed up with buses so it just added to it.
In summary:
I was told the hold on the American cheque I deposited on September 16th would clear on October 2nd. It didn't. When I called today to ask why, I was informed that the hold will not clear until October 16th. This is not what they told me previously.
They've already taken the funds out of my American bank account. They already know the cheque is good. At this point, they're basically just holding MY money hostage.
Have I mentioned that this cheque is supposed to cover my living expenses? You know, basic stuff like food, rent, and gas? If it weren't for my uncle very generously sending me money (which was supposed to be used for going out and having fun occasionally, not buying groceries while TD dicks around with my bank account. 😡 ) I wouldn't even be able to keep my head above water right now.
I was totally prepared to rip a new one for whatever customer service rep I landed when I called today, but of course I ended up with a woman whose accent was so thick I could barely understand her. Not worth trying to argue with that. I guess I'll settle for sending them a very harshly worded email instead.
So, I'm stuck for another ten days. And I have to pay rent on my new place on Saturday. Awesome.
RAGE.

Some people aren't close with their families and didn't grow up with both parents. Others crave to be in your position, to be loved and thought about that much. To get daily, hell, weekly or monthly calls from their parents. APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE, because they won't always be there!
