What an unprofessional bitch.
EFFF HER! That's so mean...
I'm a large North American living in Beijing for work. Very often the assumption is that I don't speak Mandarin 不 对 (not correct) So I love it whenever someone snickers "tai peng" (very fat) when referring to me. After they've dug a sufficient enough hole I calmly say "wow and to think some ignorant people back home told me to expect rudeness and uneducated behavior from some people in China, clearly they were not talking about you." In Asian culture this strips away all "face" and gives me an advantage in the relationship going forward. Try to find the Russian equivalent. And finally, comfort yourself with what many have already pointed out - Russian women don't age well!!
**** those socialist bastards. Move back to the USA!
Hi there, OP, I'm Russian. That woman is a bitch, but she didn't mention your appearance, I'm sure. "Ugly" is often used as a swearword. That woman could call you, for example, "fool" (дура) instead.
OP really needs to keep studying, but probably not in Russia, as she has enough trouble with English. Someone speaking fast doesn't effect your hearing, it effects your comprehension. She used 'she' for the office lady before identifying her; a pronoun w/o antecedent . Someone assuming you don't speak their language can be an advantage, don't screw it up. Big girls don't cry.
With all of this big talk about grammar and the English language, I was surprised to see that you used the noun 'effect' where the verb 'affect' ought to be.
Hey, how long you've been studying? Not long, I believe if you are surprised. People here called her unprofessional - well, they don't understand Russians. That would be "unprofessional" in Europe or America, but it's quite common in Russia. You were not strictly told off? No one yelled at you? Feel lucky.:) She might be a good woman actually, we are just not used to hide our emotions and being polite with someone who lost his key to a dorm is not generally considered necessarily. Too long to explain actually, and no foreigher will understand anyway. But most important - as was already noticed above - she most certainly didn't mean anything about how you look. What did she say - urodina? That just refered to the fact that you lost your key, nothing more. Russian words often have nothing in common with their translation.

In Soviet Russia, you don't lose keys. KEYS LOSE YOU!
you should of said " the ugly girl can hear you" in Russian to her
