Fuck cancer

Woah, I got the nicest compliment yesterday. But let's start with a little something else.

So, yesterday I finished my assignment for this week (hopefully not the last of them since I really, really, really want to finish this course within next week) and went for a stroll.
Ungdomenshus, the youth house is throwing a yarn project and I was somewhat attending.
Poster from the project.
You buy yarn and the money goes to the foundation of prostate cancer.


Though I am not the girl who have the patience for sitting and knitting or so, the lady who was the head of the project dissed me off rather badly. (sidenote, I was going for a collar. something simple. Nothing fancy)

"Do you understand math, how to read, you know how to read right, a diagram, a graph, do you know how a graph of something looks? Mathematics, have you heard about mathematics? Did you go to school? Do you know what a school is" she smirked at me while giving me those eyes of *you look really dumb*. (I may have exaggerated a bit here but you get my point)
And I sighed, quite surprised by her attitude (she looked really *having the worst day of my life everyday*) and said "yes, do I look that dumb too you?"
Then she just ignored me. She just grabbed a book and put it right up her ass....sorry, in front of her face and ignored me. WTF lady. So I guess my spirit of crochet a collar is gone.

Anyhow, later on another lady whom I never seen before approached me with "I'm sorry but I had to tell you this. You look like a mixture between the blonde and the red head in...what's it called. A series about a bureau in the sixties. Mad men! You look like someone from Mad Men"
Holy cows from outer space "Thank you", me trying to hold back how fucking lovely that comment was.
Apart from that she was someone from the SFI organization (swedish for foreigners), one of those poeple who should help immigrants in Ulricehamn. I even had a traineeship there once.
We talked, she tried to redeem me, yada yada yada. I told her I'm not changing my studies right now (already done that shit too many times, yada yada yada,) and I gave her the tip of not excluding the younger attendants of the SFI group, making the integration process longer, yada yad yada.
We had fun.

    1. She wasn't born with it? And nobody else from the group wanted to help me either.
      Thank god for youtube. Makes you scared though. Not wanting to help other people, especially in that situation.
