I should have known it, that my unlucky shadow will follow me from Tasmania!
Yesterday I had to find out that my landlord is cracy as she presented me a new room contract I should sign. After reading the whole bunch of bullshit I told her, that all these rules of her are rather insane and I pay rent and have rights too. She is another opinion. After long discussions and no alternatives on my side, I tried to bring in a two weeks timeframe before I should leave the room, because I suppose she would kick me out from one hour to the other. She doesn't wanted to accept that, nor that I added to the contract that Wifi Internet is included and available all day, everyday. I even added that I will use my own kitchen tools because she wrote in the contract that I have to replace broken or damaged kitchen stuff - and her things are all old and broken! I know that artists are special and excentric but her bipolar disorder is driving me cracy!
She tells me, even stated in the contract, that I have to take my shower in the morning and that I am not allowed to sit on the dining table in the kitchen because this is her atelier, or that I am not allowed to talk to her in the evening, if I need anything I have to ask her until midday. After 10pm no noise and due to the fact that her daughter has hurt her knee badly she will stay in the living room for the next time. I had to find out that this is not a shared flat because I just rent the room and she kindly allows that I use the bathroom and kitchen. But I need to clean the flat every week - but when she is not at home because otherwise she is disturbed - no kidding, is in the contract!
But the best thing was today, as she told me that she will travel in whole September and therefore I have to pay the electricity extra - it is clearly stated that rent incl everything and I told her that if she is not at home it is her fault and if I am not here in August she will not give back any money either. She said she will add all these new things to our first contract and I should sign then - I have no idea what to do, because I need to live somewhere and there is no other possibility at the moment. As I came home around midnight, after I watched the EM game SWE - ENG in the sportsbar, I had a note on my door, that she is not fine with the fact that I go out at night and if I do so it is my own risk! She added that she is in meditation - other word for totally high and cracy! Does she really think she can tell me when to come and go? That's not possible.
I already posted another online advertisement that I need a room and I emailed to one women because of a free room in the city. It is horrible, I suppose her weed intake over the years has caused some seriouse mental problems, and a bipolar disorder is a problem of her, too. One day lovely and cute, the other day miss horror!
Therefore, I try to keep myself away from her and spend the day outside today. I took the ferry to Djurgården, an island next to the old town where my Metro card is valid for travelling by boat - was a lovely tour, but no sunshine and so I made no pics.
I also found out that UTas Accom service charged me 20 Dollar for 'misc.' - means my laundry card which I forgot to hand in. Today I sent it by mail and wrote them an email that it is on the way. It is just because there is this pending balance of 20Dollar on my account and I will not get my Uni results until this amount is paid or deleted by Accom service - what a holy crap! The only good news I got is that I just get charged the 250 Dollar short stay fee but nothing else.
I suppose starting all over again is never easy but I thought after my last roommate experiences I would deserve a normal person, but obviously not. I also informed the Uni Stockholm that I am already here and available and they told me they have not decided yet about the candidates who will get the chance to make an interview - I guess this is good because I am still in the game.
Today I walked through the old town, Gamla stan, the first time and was overwhelmed by the huge crowd of tourists and touristy shops and restaurants, too! Where I live no tourist would go on purpose, maybe when they take the wrong metro line and get out at the wrong station! But right next to my place there is a Vandrerhem and Campingground, really nice and cheap.
I really hope everything will get better here and maybe the people at Folksuniversitetet can help me find my own small room. Shared housing is not my thing, I suppose.
I have to show you my contract and the note because I suppose noone will believe that!
Nice experience in the Sportsbar / Pub with a crowd of Swedish fans and one small table with English tourists - I didn't know what they were shouting at them as they cheered at the goal of ENG over SWE, but I am pretty sure I will not learn this kind of vocab in my language courses ;-)
