So, I went to watch ‘Dark Shadows’ today with Alex. And it was hilarious, scary and interesting all at once.

Needless to say - the Eva Green and Johnny Depp vampire/witch/70s sex scene made even the biggest nymphomaniacs look bad. I was slightly jelly.

So I just went onto a Latvian social networking site and I saw that someone had posted a video titled “Support Magdalena” and I was like “ooooh let’s watch this”. 

I wish I never had. 

Pretty much how it goes is  - “Hi my name is Magdalena and I play the cello. I have been accepted into an American University and have acquired several scholarships which all together cover the studying expenses, however I cannot afford to buy a plane ticket to the USA nor can I afford to pay for housing or main necessities, but I’m hoping that with all your help I can make this happen.”

Let me get this straight - you applied to a university that you can in no way afford? WELL FUCK. 

DID YOU EVER STOP AND THINK THAT PERHAPS THERE’S A REASON WHY MANY PEOPLE DO NOT RUN OFF TO THE GLORIOUS NATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS OPPOSE TO GOING TO A RAINY COUNTRY LIKE THE UNITED KINGDOM?

Being Latvian, I am fully aware of the ignorance and stupidity that often haunts my country, but being a freshly accepted university applicant myself I found this very very frustrating. Knowing how these things turn out, the girl will run out of money in 2 months and ask for money to fly back home because SHE HAS NO MONEY AND PROBABLY CAN’T SPEAK ENGLISH ANYWAY.

Yes, now I seem like an asshole for posting this rant, but look at it this way - WHY DON’T WE ALL FUCKING APPLY TO SHITXPENSIVE UNIVERSITIES AND ASK FOR CHARITY??

Oh yeah that’s right - not fucking stupid.

goodnight.

But of course this is not the case and now that I have poured out excuse after excuse, I can sit around and wait for his message that will say “I’m buying you the tickets now. See you tomorrow.”
