I have had SUCH a bad day.
It's not like any one big thing has gone horribly awry... but rather, a bunch of smaller things are adding up to make this a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
First off, I didn't realize how cold and wet it had gotten last night. So, lack of this knowledge leads me into my first situation...
I was already running late this morning. At about 8:50, I grabbed my keys, my books, and my Elvis Christmas CD and bolted out the door. I then noticed that my car was practically covered in a thin sheet of ice. So, fuck. I needed to get in my car to let it defrost, but when I went to open my door, it was frozen shut. So I had to get in through the passenger's side door and crawl over my center console to kick my door open (it sounds easy... but not in a two-door Sunfire). Then I had to sit in my driveway for 15 minutes waiting for the goddamn ice to melt off of everything. I made it to school just in the knick of time.
So, class was fine and what ever, but when I got out and went to smoke my usual post-class cigarette, I realized I didn't have any. Not only was I out, but I had no money to get more.
I came home and got online. I checked my online banking info and realized that some website had charged me $10 for god-knows-what. And to top it all off, I only had $10 in my bank account to begin with. So this made me completely broke.
I freaked out. I went to the website that charged me, and it was a total scam. Sure, there was probably some fine print somewhere about something, but I can honestly say that I would never sign up for a website if I knew it was going to charge me $10 a month. I remember ordering some Chinese food online from this Campus Food site, and after I ordered, it gave me this coupon for $10 off my next order from this Reservation Rewards place. But I NEVER signed up for anything. It's completely weird and bogus and it pissed me off.
As all of this was going on, Ian fucking called. I was bawling, because I really needed that money to help pay for my birth control. And Ian, being the all-knowing boyfriend that he is, was like, "That's not right. That can't be right. They can't just charge you. They can't do that. They wouldn't do that. They can't just take your information." My response was, "Yeah, they obviously can do that, because it was on my fucking bank statement." And then he decided that the best way to handle the situation would be to yell at me, which I usually let him get away with, but this time I wasn't having it. I screamed, "DON'T FUCKING YELL AT ME!" and then he hung up. I haven't talked to him since.
I went back to this website and found a way to cancel my "membership" and to get a refund on my last "payment" (even though I didn't even know I was a member, nor did I know that I was paying for anything). They said they'd refund my money in 3-5 days... well, I need that money by tomorrow at 7:30, or I'm fucked.
So, I got a bunch of change and went to the bank to deposit it into my savings and checking accounts. It wasn't enough for my birth control, so I'm still screwed in that department, but at least I got some money in my bank accounts.
And to top it all off, when I got in my car, a spider fell in my lap. Fucking lovely, right? Once again, having a Sunfire does't leave me too much "OHMYGODGETTHISFUCKINGSPIDEROFFMEI'MFREAKINGOUT"-room, so I ended up taking an old Dasani bottle from the floor and smashing this spider on my pant leg. So now I'm on the verge of tears because I killed an innocent spider.
I came home and finally got an opportunity to chill out. I just need to eat some food and take a nap. I want to sleep through the rest of this day.
