Gotta love having a debit card at the age of 20.
Gotta love having about three different store clerks fussing with the cash register and your card to realize that it was rejected for lack of sufficient funds even though your parents replenished your account a mere seven days ago with about $200.
Shoulda asked my parents to add more money before I left, but how are they supposed to keep up with the ludicrous exchange rate? Shoulda put the peanut butter back, but that's valuable protein. I returned the onions, spaghetti, and a quiche instead and apologized to everyone in the line. They were all nice about it. Must be my lucky day.
Walked back in the pouring rain (quelle surprise), through puddles, through trash that someone was too lazy to discard, through annoying couples who insisted on walking next to each other on the sidewalk despite the dimensions of my umbrella. Broke umbrella trying to maneuver around them.
OH, and did I mention that yesterday I exhausted my third iPod in a year after an entire water bottle spilled in my handbag due to poor nozzle design?
Not to be dramatic or anything, but I'm ready to be whisked back home while this hateful city burns behind me.
