Finals Week

WOW! What a week! So I somewhat apologize for my last post...however I did speak from my heart and it did help me greatly. However, a statement I made in my last post about being a protective daddy came into play even more so the DAY AFTER that last post....so on Tuesday!! Our landlord hired someone to paint the vacant apartment and on Monday he took 6 hours or so to just put texture on the walls...okay that sounds like a lot but not when you just spray a couple times on the wall...like a spot here and a spot there...but then on Tuesday I was looking out the window and I saw him sitting in his car DRINKING ALCOHOL!!! I couldn't believe what I saw! He poured some alcohol from a whiskey type bottle or rather a flask shaped bottle and he poured that into a very large coffee mug. Then he poured some dark pop such as coke. Then he got out of his car and went into the vacant apartment to "work". Needless to say, I called my landlord because I had to go to class and work and leave my wife and daughter in the same building as this man whom we don't even know! (just as a side note, I don't care what people do in their free time. It is theirs and they can do what they please but when you are at work or supposed to be working, you better not be drinking especially when you are working around FAMILIES!)I told Whitney to lock the door just in case because we have never seen him before in our lives and we don't know how the alcohol could've reacted with him. Anyway, so I saw that and my landlord didn't get back to me until 2 minutes before I clocked in! But we got it somewhat resolved. The next day, the worker just showed up with some other rough looking guy and sent me a text stating that the apartment was open. "Well duh its not going to be opened! You didn't let me know that you were coming in the first place AFTER I asked you to give me a heads up at least the night before so I can plan accordingly. I do have a life too ya know." but yeah so they didn't get any work done because I wasn't sure if my landlord wanted them to enter or not. Well they came Thursday and brought a different person with a third person to get the painting done...oh wait let me go back. On Tuesday it took him 6.5 hours to tape the apartment. PERIOD. That is what he did THE ENTIRE SIX AND A HALF HOURS! I was appalled! I couldn't believe that he didn't do anything else. I told my landlord what was going on and I told her I personally, not having any painting experience behind me, could have taped up that apartment in an hour. Just saying. So Thursday comes around and the three of them got the entire apartment painted except part of the kitchen which was strange cause it was hardly more work to just finish the little bit there. But then I decided to mow the lawn. After mowing the lawn I had noticed that the lawn was quite brown so I decided to mow. Well that was a mistake because little did I know that there was a leak in one of the pipes that I was using. After a couple hours of watering I decided to move the sprinkler again and I noticed some water coming out of apartment three(the vacant one). Well, I open up the door and the carpet was soaked and the ceiling was cracked and caving in! I ran and turned off the water but that didn't do much because 2.5 hours later, the ceiling fell off! It was a clean fall and the ENTIRE CEILING fell! I couldn't believe what I was dealing with but then again, EVERYTHING goes wrong during finals week. :/ My landlord didn't get back to me until this morning(I called her 3 times last night and left 3 messages plus sent her pictures and text messages and an email.) Once she called me she told me the insurance company would come out and contractors, etc. I told her I had a final at 1030 but I'd be free anytime after. Everyone showed up at 1015...they didn't leave until about 1130 so I had to throw things together and I ran up to campus to see if my teacher would be understanding...luckily he was and I was able to take the exam even thought that was the thing furthest from my mind at the time! I did horrible on the exam and I'm hoping and praying that I will pass...if not I have to retake it...:( But now I am completely done with finals week and I am SO READY for my 7 week break! It is a much needed break!!! Just saying....things are getting fixed up with the apartment and hopefully all will go well. I get to go work in the Temple tomorrow and that is some much needed peace that I need in my life currently! Just saying...Hopefully my next posts can be a little more happier...maybe I could've posted about my bday, even though it wasn't all that exciting except we watched the movie RIO which reminds me so much of BRAZIL and I miss it a lot!! Anywho, I need to go to bed now so NIGHT!
