Hmm
Well, it seems things aren't quite so dramatic on the home front these days. Perhaps I speak too soon, but in my situation I'd prefer to be optimistic about things, rather than dwell on the negative.
As for the room that showed the most promise, that one is of course unavailable at this time. That's okay though. The lady called me and told me she would let me know if it opens up. She said the guy that's living there has spoken about moving out, but apparently he seems very indecisive about it. I don't blame him. He'd be crazy to give up a place where rent is that cheap, if he didn't have someplace better to go. Who knows? I still might get lucky. At any rate, she has my phone number and I've still got plenty of time.
The way I figure it is, even if I don't get to move out before I'm finished with school, that might be the better option in the long run, even if I don't necessarily see it that way now. Once school starts I'll be taking a full load of classes, still working at VONS part time, and in a few months I should be interning at dental offices a few days a week. When I take time to think about it, I doubt I'll be home long enough during the week to really run into any problems.
If I *do* get into a stressful situation, I still have my car and there are plenty of libraries around and other places to go if I just need an escape for a while. Not to mention I'm sure I'll have plenty of homework and studying to do, so getting out and running off to a library might not be such a bad idea. No video games or WoW to distract me there. ;)
So, yeah. Until further notice, I'm just going to rough it at home, unless that lady calls me back with some good news. I'm not going to count on it though. In a way, that might be just as well. It will make the day I finally get to throw open that door and never look back, that much sweeter.
