This is how it works. People can’t wait for someone to get evicted so that the next students on the waiting lists can come. This dorm (as you know, being my room mate and all) is very very desired by people.

Dude, the picture with the cow was very popular when I posted It on “my other other blog” a while ago. Nothing can beat a cow eating grass on campus. Stay tuned. Every day when I go to work, I see about 5 horses on the banks of Bahlui river. Pics coming soon.

In a country where e-payment generally means waiting in line to pay with a credit card, what do you expect?

Yes.. the life in the dorm. The same administrator, two years ago, made me stay in a room with a broken window. I went over her head to the University management, but it was all in vain. Quote from March 25, 2006 (from one of my past blogs):

“în caz că nu aţi observat deja, este ora 5:17 am (adică dimineaţa) şi nu pot sa dorm. De ce? Nu lucrez la nici un proiect important.. nu nu.. nu am nici un laborator de predat mâine şi nici n-am vreun examen. Dar ce am în schimb? Am un rahat de geam. Asta am. Şi încă un termopan. Dada, termopan… Pentru ca geamul din superextraultracamera din megasupercaminul în care stau e stricat (de vreo 3 luni). După demersuri la administraţia căminului, la DPSS, văd că nu prea se poate face nimic.. De ce? În ultimele zile am luat problema în propriile mâini si l-am izolat cu spuma expandabilă… dar tot aia-i… Părerea mea a fost dintotdeauna că dacă toată lumea îşi face datoria în mod corect, totul o să funcţioneze perfect.. Dar oamenii aruncă mingea dintr-un teren în altul şi totul mearge ca dracu… Şi totuşi… mă întreb eu.. cu ochii obosiţi în monitor… De ce totuşi nu s-a izolat cum trebuie geamul ala de la spumă?”

– Yes, it’s censored here and there..

Finally, the conclusion is: Kids, go west. There’s nothing to see here, except for waiting in line to pay bills and taxes, corruption, injustice and lack of common sense.

I bet that girl, like any other person trying to make a difference will get sick and tired and leave the country.

PS. Yeah, we all, Romanians, feel your pain. Today E-On cut my cables and I’m having a black night. I went over and paid the same day, but I still had to pay about 90 RON for the “reconnection”. There was no warning whatsoever, on top of not receiving my bill for the past 4 months. It’s true, I have been irresponsible for not going and paying anyways… but come on!
