Problems in Paradise

1/14/12

So, as there was a problem here.

It got sorted and everything is fine now, but I only found out from another student who was here before.
I was under the impression that when we got to the university, we would get our uni-cards, our Student ID’s, that would act as out meal cards… I was wrong. We wouldn’t get them until that Monday. Okay, that is fine, it would only be four days. I had some money leftover, so I could stretch it to make it work, and by some I mean like 3 pounds.
I made it work in the end, that is for the weekend.

When I went to get my uni-card it did not work. Apparently there is a 4-day waiting period. I was livid.. I was also hungry. So I went back to my room, walked around the town, SaBrandi went with me and we ate at a small coffee shop that day, on her (I got her back, I always pay back my debts.) So it went like this for two more days, until finally I went to the Hub (cafeteria) and saw other international student in there. They were all eating and me and SaBrandi were like “???”

Apparently, all you have to do is go up to the cashier and tell them that you are an international student and they will write it off.
So we finally got our food, it is just crazy that we found out from another student and NOT someone who was in charge.. It would have been nice to know this before hand, or something.

But yes. The situation is FINALLY cleared up. When I told the people in the office about it, they were shocked, and apologized. So no harm meant, they must have thought I knew or something. Either way, it is all water under the bridge and I am better because of it.
