roommate issues

Following on two days after our less than happy welcoming, we received a new roommate. His name was Pavlo. Pavlo was a homophobe. He told us that he was moving in because the place he was originally at was disgusting. We didn't see him much, he was always visiting friends till late at night. Two days after he arrived, he left. Apparently it was because the housing people made an error and were going to force him to pay the $100 moving fee. We heard rumours that he moved out because we left our sex toys laying around the apartment. Another one was the Josh and Chris met the first day and had sex in every room. A few nights later our friend Brii, confronted him at a party. He was drinking. Pavlo is underage, that shit can get you termed. Brii told Pavlo off for saying things about her friends. There was no one else around. Pavlo cried. Pavlo got his friends to say they witnessed it. Pavlo's friends reported Brii and made ludicrous accusations against her and what she had said. Brii went to a meeting. They made her sign a confidentially agreement. Brii called her mum in New Zealand. Someone filmed Brii calling her mum. Brii was termed. Pavlo left a few days after and sent Brii a nasty Facebook message. Recently Pavlo's friends have all started leaving, I think they're scared.

not the best welcome

Welcome to Disney World! The most Magical place on earth.

Yeah, not really. When we arrived at our apartment, it was a pigsty. There was a pile of dirty dishes in the sink, there was clothes strewn all throughout, the place was a total mess. Good thing I didn't get here first, the two boys who arrived before me went to the main reception area and told them, they were all like "oh it should have already been cleaned, i don't believe you." So a manager came up to the apartment, had a look and got Consuela* and her team to clean it, they did a great job. They spent the best part of two hours cleaning.


We then returned home from shopping to find our locks had been changed, and we had to wait three hours for the key man to come and unlock our door, all the while our frozen food perished. The next morning when we went downstairs to collect our new keys, the staff at the front desk were less than helpful. The woman basically said that the locks were changed because someone left our apartment, she couldn't grasp the fact that we had moved in the day before.


So later that day at our housing meeting where we got our ID's that they stretched the pictures to make us look like how we would at the end of our program, fatter, one of my housemates, Chris, spent forever talking to one of the ladies and we got really worried it was something bad, turns out he was just filing a complaint with her because she's second in charge of the housing company. As two of the people in our apartment are over 21 in a wellness apartment, the housing people printed our ID's saying we were under 21, good thing I noticed, or else we wouldn't be able to drink.

The lady that Chris spoke to, settled everything with the people at the front desk, we even got an apology from the woman there who wouldn't believe us. and we ended up getting a gift card to cover the loss of our frozen foods.
