Since I’ve been accepted to the University of Sydney, I’ve been looking for a place to stay. Using the university dorms are decidedly expensive (typically they’re 8,000+ a semester, not to mention that you have to pay a fee to apply AND interview to get in AND you might be rejected) so I’ve been browsing other sites for leads.
And am I getting leads? I sure am! For the past few weeks I’ve been rolling in e-mails like this one:
Dear scammers: I am on to you.
Sincerely,
Me
I was screaming at you 1/2 way through the comic! Glad you saw that one, too.

I’m pretty dumb a lot of times, but thankfully not this time! I didn’t feel like trusting a random stranger with hundreds of my dollars, you know?
Oh, I know.

Such bad spelling and grammar. That’s pretty much all I have to say.
