Things are going badly here. My friend and I had a misunderstanding, which grew into a fight, about money. Twice, I apologized (even though I don't think it's all my fault) and tried to make amends, but her anger only grew, and she told me to leave. She has been doing petty things, like throwing my food out of the refrigerator, unplugging the computer so I can't use it, and accusing me of all kinds of things I didn't do. I feel simply awful. I got a plane ticket for tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM, and someone is giving me a ride to the airport. It's so strange. Now she is listening to music and singing along, sounding very happy. She would not listen to me play my violin and sing along, as we had planned. She almost never played any music, just listened to the TV, which I can't stand. I almost went out and bought a portable CD player so I could hear some music. This is all so bizarre. I'm so glad I'll be home soon.
