Yikes. I am moving out of my apartment in 28 days. This notion kind of scares the crap out of me--mainly because I don't know where I'll be living yet. I have to stay in SC because I need to stay at my job to have $N but I can't afford to stay at the apartment. It would be simple enough if I were just moving to a new place to stay there, but I am basically needing to find somewhere to live for 21 days, and then I'll be in France for a month. When I get back I will be needing to live in SF for school. I am currently #30 on the waitlist for female grad students. I was 46, so at least it is moving, but it still looks as though I might not have housing confirmed by the time classes start. So, I am looking into staying at a residence hotel in the city center. It costs more, and I would have to commute, but I wouldn't have to worry about applications and leases and stuff. Also, there is a ton of stuff included in the price, like food and cable and internet. Still I am not looking forward to paying $1200 in rent for just me on a grad student's budget. But at least this way, if I get a spot in student housing I'm not locked into a lease.
Bleh. Life = complicated.
So basically I am kind of almost homeless except I have a job and way too much stuff. Yay! Tara is going to be a transient this summer. I am shopping around for a storage unit to keep all my junk in (I learned the hard way coming back from Indo that it is not worth it to sell your stuff), but everything is super expensive.
On that note, I am imploring help from people with moving toward the end of June. Basically it involves schlepping stuff too big for my car from my apartment to a nearby storage unit. I know some people have their own stuff going on, but I pledge to feed + alcoholize all peoples who come to help. And in SC there is the beach and sunshine (hopefully) for anyone who wants to crash at my place and make a weekend of it.
More later...
Love y'all,
Tara.
