Winter is so long sometimes

Well, what to say? I can't pretend that things have not been difficult these past coupple of weeks. I could blame the weather, but with much warmer temperatures and much less snow than I've been accustomed to living in Montreal, the weather is not to blame.
Then what? A combination of things stewing to make the most unpleasant soup of sickness, frustration, and dissappointment imaginable. You know when a number of unfortunate things happen all at once and it makes everything feel much larger and more difficult to bear?
Well first, my health is not great. The mould in my apartment combined with a weakened immune system has given me a number of health concerns. And when you don't have your health, you don't have much. Not having my health is even more difficult for me because I was in excellent shape not so long ago. I really don't know where things went wrong?
Secondly, I've been fighting with my school to get permission to move out of this mouldy apartment for my health and closer to downtown so I don't feel so isolated. Once I convinced my school that they should move me, then I found out that I had to wait for my apartment to be let before they could begin looking for a new one. Fine I thought. But here we are weeks later and I find that not even 1 person has applied to the real estate agent to see the apartment. At this rate I will not be moving soon. The system is increadibly unproductive and profits only the real estate agents who sit on their fat asses waiting for the people to do the work while collecting a big pay cheque. It frustrates me soooooooooooooooooooooooo much not to be able to get out there and find someone myself. So much so that I have decided to start posting fliers around my neighbourhood as well as on Craigslist. This is rediculous and I feel as though I'm being made the fool of. Let the foreigner sit there while we tell her we are working on her behalf. I think not. I am henseforth going to do as much as I can on my own to find some one for the apartment. Make posters, post on craigslist, have the school put an add in the local paper.. etc
I have to keep searching for solutions to the problems in my life and not just accept them. And that is how I intend to be happier with the rest of my time in Korea. However long or short that may be.
One way i think will be hrough my art and another through my friends and lastly through trying to find things I like about this country and culture and focus on those things and not the ones that ave been making me so unhappy.
