My list of things to do before I go home (JUNE 13th!!) has grown to such a ridiculous level that I can't even begin to comprehend how everything will fall into place. I'm stressed out without the anxiety, because really I don't even have enough time for a panic attack.
TO DO:
1. A 6 page essay for Film and the Holocaust, due Monday June 2nd.
2. A 6-8 page essay for Contemporary American Literature, due Thursday June 5th.
3. A 6-8 page essay for Shakespeare and Film, due Friday June 6th Sunday June 8th.
4. Study for my Film and Holocaust final, on Wednesday June 11th.
5. FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE NEXT YEAR! (324 Lincoln #15!!!)
6. Find a summer job. (Although this can wait until I get home. I've already applied to Borders. Those assholes had better want me!)
7. Get all my stuff packed and ready to move out before the morning of the 13th.
So, really, the list isn't that terrible. I think what's stressing me out the most is finding housing. My future roommate and I went to a group viewing today (having made an appointment for it LAST SATURDAY), and we get there, stand around an wait for the lady in charge of business, and she gets there only to tell us that someone's already been pre-approved for the apartment, so the place is as good as rented! WHAT THE HECK?! And we didn't even get a courtesy call about the whole situation. I can understand that housing in Santa Cruz is pretty cutthroat, but I missed a discussion section and a lecture to come see this place, and they couldn't even let me know that someone had already basically rented it? UGH.
But that may already be solved, because on the way back from that place, Matt and I stopped by another apartment to see somewhere even closer to downtown Santa Cruz. It's a little run down and could use some fresh paint, but there's some gorgeous roses outside and the apartments (from the outside) look huge! And it's in the same price range as the other place, so it wouldn't be a problem. I called and made an appointment to view it as we were standing around there, and the lady on the phone sounded shocked since the listing had only gone up that morning. So. Hopefully, that one might work out. Maybe? I can't handle this stress! It's ridiculous!
I don't even want to work this summer, because I won't have the time to hang out with my little sister, or go with the family to Santa Barbara, or write, or to conquer my summer reading list.
UGGHHH. There's just not enough time.
