He is gone, but his legacy remains... just as I feared.
Angry roommates, tense relationships. We haven't even seen or spoken to each other in days now, despite living in the same house. And now, one of them is lying, saying that I was aware of the whole situation and well-informed that Landis was moving in. I don't even park my car near my apartment anymore. I don't want to have to deal with Car Wars where we argue about who has to move whose car, plus, I keep being paranoid that someone might damage it if they see it. I lock my bedroom every time I leave the house out of fear, too.
I was hoping to be at peace for the last week before classes start again. I guess I won't be getting that. -_-
At least I got Landis out of the way and pissed off my roommates now, rather than after classes started. Maybe things will smooth over in time to where we can at least be in the same room without tension or awkwardness. I don't expect we will be friends anymore, however. I know, Eldyran, you said that my roommates didn't hate me and I shouldn't be so worried about it. Well, doing the right thing has changed that. They are more than likely horrified with me right now. I guess I'll just have to get used to a frigid atmosphere around this place.
Thankfully, I will be very busy this semester. Working weekends and couple evenings a week, going to class, Jazz Choir, Spanish Club, Team MSQ, Mankato Atheist/Agnostic Secular Students (MASS) and also working to get rid of large portions of my furniture, most likely by donating it to MRCI. I won't be needing most of it come this Fall. I will probably be moving in with my boyfriend of 2-years at the end of August. If I have to move to Chicago (he lives nearby it) to be with him if he cannot find a job in Minnesota, then the less furniture I have to pack, the easier the move will be. I'm even starting to think living in Minnesota isn't the best idea anymore. The Winters are cold and harsh, too many memories, not much job opportunity (even though I'm employed), and my boyfriend is pretty well established in Chicago. He's making a decent amount of money at his current job. Unless he can find a better paying one here, it'd be foolish to ask him to leave. My older sister already said that if I move to a major city, she and her husband would gladly take an airplane to come visit us now and then, as they live in Sioux Falls, which is one of the very few places in South Dakota that has a commercial airport. Though almost all of my major family lives in Minnesota and Eastern South Dakota... it might be time to say goodbye, as hard as it is to do. If Rose Nylund can move to Miami, Florida after spending her entire life of 50-60 years in Minnesota, I can make a good life for myself in Chicago.
Hopefully, I won't have to move out prematurely. If things get icky here, though, I'll look into taking over a sub-lease elsewhere. My parents have been very supportive in all of this, and they've even offered me money and help should the occasion arise that my roommates become too unbearable. My mother keeps badgering me to ask management if there is an open-space in another unit they'll let me occupy so I don't have to break my lease or sublet. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe living with strangers would be easier than living here... even if it means I have to be in the closet and not have anything in common with the people I live with. Though, quite frankly, some people argue that my closet door is made out of transparent glass.
One other option, though a bit expensive, could be to move into the dorms for a final semester. I think it may be too late to sign up, but if I got a solo-room again, it'd make my final semester a piece of cake, and cut my walking distance to campus down to almost nothing. I would consider subletting to Landis (since the roommates I currently live with think he's some kind of savant), but since Landis has absolutely no money and is in debt, I would just end up getting in trouble.
I'll just have to hope things smooth out over here. I have one last thing I have to say to my roommates before I can go completely silent to them, and that's my "disclaimer e-mail" which states bluntly that I'm barring Landis from ever setting foot in this town-home again and explains why, and that I will not permit anyone to live here off-lease, regardless of who it might be. This seems to be the general "complaint" of the roommates, that I never told them "no" before to these things, hence why I'm sending the e-mail to them soon. I'll have some people review it before I send it, of course.
