Thanks Mum & Dad
Yesterday I was having the worst day ever, and came home just wanting to cry and cry and cry.
To start off I was sick in the morning, with a killer headache. Add to this the fact that Í needed to be in meetings regarding common introduction and transition all day which was exhausting.
Then I had an argument with a very close friend regarding something that in the scheme of life is not that important. The thing is, when I have disagreements with people I care about, it hurts me the most... so I was very upset after this incident.
Then it became the ultimate Jonah day.
I went to see my old roommate to finalise the details for the money and moving out of the apartment. Tired, upset and emotionally drained I arrived at my old residence in Denmark. First blow, the room is not clean enough, start scrubbing. OK, it looks pretty good to me, I thought but yeah I can clean it more to not cause troubles.
Second Blow, there are damages to the room which I will deduct from your deposit. Ok, not good news but not unreasonable a request, I can handle that.
Third Blow, No Mazzy you do not get 4000 deposit returned. You are reading the contract wrong, it is only 2050. But the contract is in Danish I say, I can't read it.... ok lesson learnt for me. Law school should have taught me to be more careful and details focused with my contracts and my life.
Final Blow, So when are you paying this months rent? Hmm.... well I am not living here, so how about... NEVER!! ok, I thought that, but again trying not to cause tension or problems I ask nicely what he is talking about... Apparently according to Danish Law, if you do not move out of your apartment by the 31st of the month, then you are liable to pay the whole next months rent. A fact that my roommate conveniently forgot to tell me when we agreed I would move out on 4th July, after giving the required month in advance notice.
So after all this, not only was I not getting my anticipated 4000 kroner deposit back, I was having to pay an extra 2000 kroner for a month where I was not even living in the apartment, and actually paying rent at another apartment.
This was too much - Canada was no longer an option.
Finally at Huys house again, I cried and cried ... so upset that this could happen, and that the Canada opportunity I would have to decline. I tried to imagine what I would do, now I was not going to Canada, and of course I was getting more upset.
Mum called around this time, and I let out all my troubles on her. I had to tell someone, and share how upset I was. However, I wanted mum to know I was sharing with her as a mother, and not as someone who I would ask for a finacial favour.... because I would feel bad about that if that is what they thought.
Talking to mum helped, and I felt better but by this stage completely and utterly emotionally drained. You know that feeling you have when you have been crying, your eyes feel drained, and you don't want to talk to anyone. You just want to be by yourself? Thats exactly how I felt.
Mum called back about 10 minutes later. She had told Dad the situation. They had discussed it, and felt that it would be a bad idea to pass up the Canada opportunity - and that they would be willing to loan me the money to get to Canada.
I told mum that I would think about it throughout the day, and talk to her at night after deciding what to do. Talking to mum this morning, I realised that it is best for me to go to Canada because going back to Australia with no immediate plans, I know I may end up feeling upset that I was able to go to a great position in Canada and I was so close, but due to money was unable to accept it.
SO I guess, with mum and dads help I am able to go to Canada after all!!
Its an amazing feeling of relief, and gratefulness. I am not excited yet, as I am still apprehensive that something might happen, and I may still not go. But at this stage, taking a loan from my family I should be able to work in montreal as I had planned.
BUT I just wanted to say.. THANK YOU SO MUCH MUM AND DAD! I don't think you realise how much this means to me, and how grateful I am. Soon, when I am more financially stable I will pay you both back, with commission.
THANK YOU.
Love and Hugs, Mazzy xoxoxo
