I've got my replacement debit card in the mail, and things are clearing up nicely. Although I say that with reservation, because life never seems to want to settle down into the sort of comfortable rhythm I so crave. But nevermind.
I've decided that instead of wasting energy being disappointed when I have much to be grateful for, and even more importantly, more work to do than I can ever get my procrastinating self to finish, I shall knuckle down to aforementioned work.
Interesting tidbit of conversation with my roommate: when I told her that hair-dying was forbidden in schools back home, she asked, 'But, how can they tell?' I spent some seconds being amazed that anyone could have asked such an obvious question - because in a place where black hair is the genetic norm, dyed hair is -duh- obvious. But I'd overlooked the fact that natural hair colours are considerably more diverse
here. So hair-dyeing school rules
ala Singapore would be near-impossible to enforce, not to mention extremely pointless. Certainly puts a new perspective on things.
