Locksmith

Today I learned a new word... locksmith... that's the word for the guys who are coming to your flat, rip you off with charging a horrible high price to help you opening the door without key... that happened now to me today after this stupid plumbers were here... I was just at EBS studying and came back at 10pm to figure out that this guys locked the door with both locks instead of just with the one lock I usually use ... the key for the second lock was of course inside the flat ...

Now I lost tow hours of studying through this mess... called some of this locksmith and they told me prices between £120 and £70 ... I thought it would be cheaper to stay at a hotel then paying £70... but that was wrong .. just found a place where they wanted to charge me £100 and the others were booked out... so I decided that the opportunity cost of running around longer or studying is too high and I want to invest my time in studying ... so I called the locksmith for £70 and now I'm back inside my flat... now I rest for 15 min and then I go back to my desk studying ...

Today I got really shocked, I tried exam-type Multiple choice questions and scored 11 out of 25 ... that's 44% and far away from what I thought I should be able to score ... I don't know what I learned the last 3 month in finance that I still score that bad!! Seems there is lots of work waiting for me the next 24 hours to get me ready for this exam!
