I MOVED!  Honestly living in New York isn't really all that different from my older pattern of visiting New York so I don't have particularly much to say about that.  However, I will say that the management from my building is useless.  The former tenants didn't clean anything at all and neither did management so I've been spending the last week cleaning.  ALSO, there are little bugs nesting in my fridge door.  Absolutely unacceptable.  I've been waiting over a day and they still haven't even come by to check it out.  Bastards better give me a new fridge is all I have to say.  On another note, I have negative monies.  I really wish that I could have gotten a job after quitting B&N so that I wouldn't end up chin deep in debt.  So now even though I'm in the city, I'm pretty limited on what I can do for fun because goddamn this place is expensive and I am broke.  We're talking like 2K credit card debt.  It makes me horrifically uncomfortable.  Well when I get back from Romania I'm going to apply at the Apple store where some friends work and live like a miser until I manage to pay all that off.  Maybe I should go round and collect on my debts too... I always feel like an arse asking people for money when none of us ever have enough though.  Well 20 hours a week at work should help put a dent in things, even though that plus my crazy commute plus classes means I'm going to die a hundred deaths this upcoming semester.  My schedule thusfar:

Monday: Work til 5, commute to New Brunswick (NB), class til 8, get home at 10
Tuesday: head to NB at 8am, class from 10 to 4:40, nap/hw for 2 hours, class til 9:30, get home 11:30
Wednesday: same as Monday
Thursday: sleep in, leave at 1 for NB, class til 5, nap/hw for 3 hours, class til 9:30, get home 11:30
Friday: head to NB at 8am, class til 11, head back to the city and try and have a life and do hw

I'm thinking maybe Thursday I spend the night down in Jersey so that I don't waste 4 hours I could be sleeping on a commute when I could just waste an hour or two on a drive.  Also, I know that I'm never going to have time for a social life or hell even time to sleep or spend with Matt... especially once he moves to City Island.  I have a feeling that all my free time will be consumed by homework, even though I can manage some during the commute on the train.  I definitely need to get a second battery for my laptop so that I can do work on the train uninterrupted as the battery life is somewhat laughable.  I'm getting a lot of classes out of the way, which is useful.  Finally biting the bullet and taking Linguistic Anthropology because it's obvious they're never going to offer it at a more reasonable time as long as Ahearn lives and I'm also taking Expository writing which I put off for some reason for a really long time.  On top of those I'm going to be taking Intermediate Microeconomics, Econometrics, and Money and Banking (which is luckily being taught by Professor Paul who is such a sweet lady and a fantastically good and patient professor who was really supportive of me when Tea had passed away).  So after this semester, I'll be done with all the Economics basic requirements so I can declare the major and will have one out of seven electives out of the way.  Also I'll be almost done with the Livingston College Requirements, with only one writing class and one diversities class requirement left (which I will fulfill with one of my economics electives) and finished another class for the Anthro major.  So at the end of 2008 I will have nine classes left to take in order to graduate.  I need to contact O'Brien and Cachel and see if I can do the Honors Thesis in Anthro as I was planning to.  man everything is so crammed at the end but I absolutely have to graduate before I turn 25 if I want to be able to respect myself.
