bureaucracy 1, me 0

so I lose. I definitley have to go back to england. It's complicated and weird and bureaucratic and I'm not so mad at the fact that I have to go back, it's that no one could have told me the information I needed to know sooner. I mean come on now. All it takes is someone to actually listen to what your situation is and what you want to do instead of being to busy to care. I mean, when the canadian embassy in greece and the greek embassy in canada tell you two different things, you know the system is confused.
and I'm also mad at the fact that even the little things are not going right for me today... like trying to call a bunch of embassies and then trying to call airway people. for example... trying to call british airways to change my ticket... first, i just happen to run out of money on my cell. second, the first payphone i can find is decapitated, i.e. no reciever. the second inexplicably non-functioning, the third working, but it is now 5 minutes past five. the office closed at five. i try to call long distance to the one in england and for some reason cannot get through.
any ways. I'm just going to have to suck it up and pay the massive amount they are charging me to change my ticket, but first I have to walk back to lefkandi and get the bank card that is sitting in my room instead of being in my bag only to walk back (30 min. both ways). can't say i'm not getting my exercise.

anyways, enough complaining. I'm bitter, yes, but still. things aren't that bad, just expensive and time consuming. Maybe it's better that I go back to england to sort some stuff out, and on the bright side i have some friends there who have already offered up their couches and floors.

that's it for now, i have to get walking if I'm going to make dinner...
