Today around 9:30 am someone at the office pulled out the plug from the internet. That someone does that so now and then. When the internet at the office downstairs has a bad connection or is going to slow, that someone will pull out the plug. Some of the people who live here has a computer or a laptop in their room. One of the rules here at Humanitas is that you have to try to do less downloading on the computer.
If you download something and the office gets a bad connection because of 'that' downloading, they will pull out the plug, no mercy! It's almost 4:00 pm now and we still don't have internet, I'm writing this piece on Wordpad. Ofcource it sucks sometimes when they pull the plug out, you might be writing a important mail, or maybe writting a resume, or you talking to someone important. Sigh! Have mercy!
What has been up today? Not that much really, I have been after my health insurance and that's all settled now. I'm getting some money back from the health insurance within 3 or 4 weeks, cause I had some debts for my medication and ofcource the dentist appointments. I saved the debts and gave them to my health insurance. Further I'm busy with getting some extra money, cause I'm still under the minimum wage. I knew where I had to go, and they made a appointment for me. Next Tuesday at 9:15 am I have to fill in some forms and probably I have to answer some questions. It's all good.
I'm still waiting for the response back from the Canadian embassy where I sent a mail too. I red the info on the embassy site, and there it said:
We encourage you to read all the information available on this website. Please also check the FAQ section. Should you have any question regarding work permits under the Youth Mobility Programs left unanswered you may send an e-mail with your question to iec@canada.de. We will not answer any status inquiries within the regular processing times of 6 weeks.
I hope I get an answer back, cause I'm a tiny bit worried, about this. I think you know by now why. Maybe I should call the Canadian embassy. Am I going crazy or insane?
Today I had a nice conversation with my project leader, she's nice and not afraid to talk. She's helping me out and she sure will put me to work, but in my own tempo. Her name is Paula and today we went trough my mail, there are still a few debts I have to pay, the dentist and the staying at that summer house. That's why that extra little money is so important, so, I can save up some money to pay these debts. Today I was getting my weekly food money again, I don't like it when I have to ask for it at the office, but that's the way it goes. I almost never know how to ask such thing when I arrive at the office, "Can I have the food money?"
And then perhaps holding up my hand? After 6:00 pm we had finally the internet back, I just got back from dinner. Dinner was good,we had mashed potatoes with kale, we call it, "Boerenkool." It was a nice winter meal. Although the sun was high in the sky and out the window it looked warm, there was a very cold wind. I think were getting a cold night. Can't believe the days are going by so fast, it's almost weekend. How am I doing? I'm okay, and moving very slow forward. I had a nice comment on my Facebook this morning. It was from Mar, she told me she misses me. I miss her too, we had some fun together in the last 3 years. I hope your well Mar! Love you!

I will never forget that moment once when Mar was laying flat on the kitchen floor and started to laugh. She just layed there being bored, and all of a sudden she started to laugh. After 30 minutes I went upstairs leaving her behind, LOL! I came back after 40 minutes and she was still laughing, that's Mar! Mar is fragile, 'handle with care,' but can be tough aswell, she can be annoying but in a funny way, she's definitely a teenager that's oblivious. Mar is a sweetheart and I love her!
Stepfather and daughter, are very close. They are best friends, and can be enemies sometimes. They laugh and cry, call each other names, and mess around. And there still as close as ever. Nothing will ruin their Stepfather and daughter relationship, not even boys. They may keep secrets, from one another, but there still there, to care and help. Their still Stepfather and daughter.
