Bloody timetables again

Of course, I should have learnt not to trust timetables here in Metz. Having done just that, concluding from the fact that both my resits were scheduled to take place this week that I could take a plane home on Saturday, I suddenly find myself unable to sit one of them because, guess what, it has been moved to next Friday . It’s pure luck that my Geometry resit was moved from today to this Friday, and not the other way round, and it was very lucky that I didn’t quite trust the word of the somewhat absent-minded professor who told me about it, but went to check the notice boards instead, or I would have had no idea.

Conclusion: Whatever I do, there is no way in hell that I can pass all my courses, and hence no way in hell that I will be allowed to keep my Mobility grant, without spending hilarious amounts of money on extra flights and nights in hotels. I don’t have money to spend on extra flights and hotels. And I want to go home.

This annoys me to such a degree that I don’t have words to express it.

Five years of my life wasted, I know, I know. But to the point, even being a horrible horrible semi-wannabe-half-geek, I would have thought that simple commands such as Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V were sort of standard in GUI applications. I know that things don’t work that way at the command line, but it’s not the XFCE terminal I’m angry at right now but ViM. Stupid, stupid, stupid and still oh so annoyingly competent ViM.
