Mold

We finally decided after two months of waiting for our director to buy us a couch, that we would just get our own.  It was getting pretty shitty to only be able to sit on your bed.  The day we order it, our directors husband tells us he just happened to find a couch that day.  Obviously, I don't think it was a coincidence that he finds a couch the same time we buy one.  I think he was insulted that we went ahead and got it ourselves.  So we end up getting two couches for our little apartment the same day.   We have no idea what our house address is, and we weren't able to leave work when the couch was being delivered, so we had to get it dropped off at the school.  Most normal people would offer to help you get it home, especially if they have a large van.  But not this day.  We got to carry it home from school.

In order to fit both couches into our apartment we needed to do some rearranging.  We moved a dresser and found a huge pile of mold growing on the wall behind it.  From the ground up, probably about 3 feet worth of the green stuff.  We scrubbed the wall, but there was still a huge stain.  I told my director the next day about it, and she basically just laughed and thought it was funny.  Makes sense, there is nothing funnier that a bunch of mold growing in your apartment.  I wasn't overly thrilled about this, so we took a picture of it, and showed them.  After seeing the picture, they believed it was a big problem.  No shit.  

Our landlord came over about a week or so later to fix it.  The remedy, put a big white sticker like thing over it.  I'm pretty certain this probably isn't going to help much, and once some moisture builds up again, it will be the return of the mold.  The only thing I can really do, is buy a dehumidifier.  And obviously, it will come out of my pocket, because here, everyone thinks mold is funny, and not a problem, so there is not much need to take any actions in preventing or fixing it.
