finally found the apartment i want to live in. it's a bit expensive, and things will be tight...but, i'm not driving anymore, so gas isn't an issue. i can walk everywhere i will need to go (including to a bus to get to the day job or drillings) and i love, Love, LOVE the hardwood floors, huge closets, built in shelves/wardrobe, tons of windows, cute kitchen, and awesome balcony. all 700 sq ft of it (heated as part of the terms of rent) situated a mere 15 - 20 min walk from campus is worth $585 per month to me. unfortunately, unless saving on gas turns out to be MAJOR, i'll be even a teensy bit more broke than i am now. guess i'm just deciding that it's worth it to drink tea, eat ramen and be happy where i live.
since you're already bored...gush. gush. i'm excited to move. gush. gush. there will be a chill cocktail party sometime in early may if i snag the place. you'll like it. i promise. (but i might be forced to charge this time:)
here's the scary part: some dude downstairs who has already lived there for awhile is considering transferring upstairs to the apartment i want, so even if i put down the security deposit tomorrow (which i'm going to try to do), if he's interested, he's got dibs :( also, the residential manager told me that if my credit is horrible enough (eeps!) i may need to pay a double security deposit (NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE!) or, worse yet, refuse to accept me all together. not quit sure what i would do at that point. i'd be pretty fucked. but all i can do now is wait...
gggrrrr...
