Probably the worst week of my life

After getting back to Boston and being ready for some major ass kicking this semester, the developments since Saturday have been more than horrible.
I moved to my new apartment on Saturday, which I was already worried about, because the place was a complete dump. I was pretty bummed out right after we moved in and things got worse and worse from there.
The apartment was in the basement (a really shady basement, like from a bad horror movie) and our windows gave us a beautiful view of the dumpster in the back alley behind our house.
In my room there was this constant noise of water running through the pipes in the ceiling and the rest of the apartment wasn't much better.
I was pretty pissed at myself for ever agreeing to rent that place, but I don't remember it looking that bad when we looked at it.
At that point I was already considering my options about moving back out of there as soon a possible and when I came back from the bathroom on Sunday and saw a big roach crawling over my bed, I knew I had to get the hell out of there.
I put on my shoes and just left imedately and ended up sleeping on the couch in my old apartment that I lived in over summer for the night.
I was wondering about how I would tell Wes that I couldn't bare living under those conditions and that I was gonna move out immediately and I really thought things couldn't get much worse, but boy was I wrong!
After 10 hours of classes and work I get out of school and check my voicemail and I have a message from Wes.
The noise of running water in the apartment had stopped but only because the pipe on the ceiling in my room burst and about 200 liters of drain water (I still don't know if it was shower and sink drains or even toilet drains) poured over everything I own.
My laptop, my guitars, my recording gear, all my clothes and all of my stuff is completely ruined and now I have to sue the building management to get reimbursed for everything.
I can safely say that yesterday was the worst day of my life and I am mad beyond any imagination.

At least I already found a new place to live and I will move again on the weekend.

I'm trying to stay positive and not get caught up in this too much since school is already kicking my ass and I have to find an artist, choose a song and produce a demo within the next 7 days.

I'll keep you updated on how the situation plays out.
