I always insist not to write sad, awful, grumpy things on my blog; i believe everything has its bright sides, and learning to look on the bright side of lives makes lives easier.
However, i just can't help it now, i've to write this down just to convey my anger in an appropriate way instead of throwing faeces into the dean office or something insensible.
"Not changing, just stay quiet and wait and see what's going on, then take the action."
This year is my 3rd year in Russia, but i still don't know why, i didn't learn this technique i mentioned above.
Another great thing you can learn in this country is "patience".
There're few things i just don't quite understand and i try to understand it, but eventually, i choose not to understand because they're just 'nelzia paniat', they just couldn't be understood. So, do myself a favour, stop torture myself.
1. English medium dean office , apparently, people work every day, but it's only open to students on Tuesday and Thursday, 2pm-6pm. If you have classes during these two periods, i'm sorry, you can't get in.
Q: what the XXXX are they doing during other time?
2. Student visa section. Same thing, only open to students on Tuesday and Thursday, 2-6pm.
Q: Wow, i didn't realise that there're so many paper works or other works on Mon,Wed,Fri all day.
3. One more thing: 2-6pm, if officers are tired or attacked by smoking addiction, well, sorry, no entrance either. Sometimes smoking may takes up to 30mins, or so.
Q: I just don't understand this kind of attitude.
4. Today, my final exam timetable had changes for the 4th time, within a month, so averagely it's changed every week.
Q: they thought my air ticket is bus ticket? They thought we're just so rich and we can get a flight back home anytime we want?
5. My teacher used to say, "Everything's not confirmed until it has started."
Q: Yes, by the time it's started, could it be too late? Vice dean told us that our exams will be done after certain dates, and told us not to worry to buy our tickets. Oh yeah, i forgot, confirmation is not true until it has started, because verbal confirmation, or even black and white, are just not confirmation, they're just piece of XXXX to get you away from annoying them like flies flying around the SHIT.
I am totally mad with my travel agent here. Lazy to say why, but i think i just don't have to waste my energy to write something about brainless creatures.
Anyway, bright side of life:
1. People always have the reason to do something. (sorry, i just can't do it coz some people just don't need reasons nor excuses to do things, or the reasons are just not acceptable in convention. Sometimes i do ask myself: Am i the only one who disagree with this, or how many people are not satisfy with this or that, or how would i judge is it widely acceptable by most people or not...)
2. Each individual is unique, and each of them grew up in a different environment, with different cultures and stuff. There're not right or wrong for a certain action, it's just different way of doing things. Basically, 2 options: change yourself, accept it. (unfortunately, i choose to avoid it because i can only accept that some people are brainless, and that's it. I have a rather nice temper nowadays, just don't care what people do, as long as i'm not harmed. )
3. As i have mentioned before, just wait and see what's going on.
4. Appreciate my condition. I have heard some cases worse than mine, or if mine is the worst case, then i'm glad, because nothing can be worse. I'm mentally-prepared now.
That's it. I just can't wait to graduate and get out from this place. Really, I've learned a lot of 'life lessons' here, but i think it's enough; i need a break before i can take anymore.
