Too poor to buy a lousy potato
There is something wrong with our economy, our state, our so-called 'social democracy' Because someone working for student loans is to dumb to enter in numbers on a computer screen my $3500 was deposited into someone else's account. Their response...Oops maybe we'll have a cheque for you by mid November. For fuck sakes even Starbucks can figure out how to deposit money in a persons account and our government can't? Meanwhile I am making 'mother Hubbard soup'-you know scrape together all the leftovers, boil it in a broth and hope to hell it tastes good so you can feel like you had some what of a meal. I dug for change in the couch and walked to Dominion with my .88 cents to buy a potato to throw in, but nope, sorry, too bad, so sad that potato is gonna costs you $1.30!!!! Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is to be short fifty cents for a lousy potato..."uhhhh Ill just run out to my car and get some more change"....I mumble as I leave to walk home in tears. Too broke to buy a potato, Im going to school to better myself and become the basis of the future economy, pay my taxes, do my part yadda yadda, but Im too broke to buy a potato. Thanks student loans, thanks for making this day really shitty.

That freaking sucks man! DId you get your package yet?
My heart ripped in half reading that. It makes me so sad at how expensive food is and how heartless OSAP is. Right, because you can wait a full month without any incoming money?! They made a mistake with my money a couple years ago too and took forever to correct it.. Morons.
My only suggestions are does York have a student food bank? Or what about going to the Toronto food bank? http://www.dailybread.ca/
I know the Toronto food bank can provide 2-3 emergency assistance. The guidelines are up on the site. I hope you get something worked out Hun cause you can't starve!
Best of luck.
