What happens when Christians run banks

It just doesn't work.


So I finally picked up by debit card, 2-5 days after I opened a bank account.

It was kind of embarrasing, you can't get in the bank unless you have a card to slide in that thingi, otherwise you have to press the intercom. So I kept pressing it and pulling at the door but it wouldn't open. Until a well-dressed man in his 30's sailed by me and pushed it open.

Whatever. I'm a foreigner.

I tried to do online banking tonight and it was a disaster. My card ended up being blocked online. I called customer service and they said I have to go back in the bank to fix it. I'm going to have to plan half my day around that, since it is really only open 4 hours day.

You have to stick you card in a calculator thingi, shown at bottom, everytime you do online banking. Then you have to type in 'the challenge' which is a bunch of numbers shown online, then your pin and then it gives you a 'response' which you type in online, and only then will it let you do banking.

Of course I fucked it up. And I am pissssed.

I'm not really sure to get my money over here from Canada, I think the only way to do it is to wire it for like 30$ which sucks ass.


Today was the philosphy orientation.

Me and some others ended up getting suck in this speech, that may have been welcoming the class or a graduation speech from last year. I have no idea.

He started off with English to lull us into a false sense of security, and after one sentence switched to Dutch for the next 40 minitues.

There are 116 ceiling tiles in the room, by the way.

But at least Jesus was watching over me. Jesus watches over me in every building on campus. He looks pretty hungry though. He was about 10 feet big on the wall, with golden hair. Not very semetic looking if you ask me.

Then we had some free booze and chilled with other philo students. I met a Joanna Gallagher Look Alike again, who was wearing glittery ruby red flats like Dorothy.

The other philosophy students...all like..100 of then (I'd like to add the Law faculty has over 3000) are interesting. Kind of. I will see more once class starts tmrw.
