Making plans while sleep-deprived
I have no pillows. I'm creeped out being in this place, in part because of some of the weird shit that me and one of my friends found lying around left by the tenants. In spite of it being in some respects a massively stupid idea to move partway through the year, I sort of want to be out of here.
...So, I'm coming up with plans. Plans I might find immensely stupid tomorrow, but planning helps me maybe not feel like I'm trapped. I'm under no continued lease for the year, and I believe I only need to give 30 days' notice before moving out. I already paid last month's rent upfront way back when I moved in, so that would see me through September at least for that. I'd leave all of my stuff that is currently in boxes from Portland in said boxes for the time being - most of it being nonessential. As far as places to go - there's a place in Malden that's $25 more expensive per month than my current rent, with better amenities - laundry in unit, cable included in utilities, a pool, a shuttle to Government Center and to local public transportation... So, especially between saving on laundry and saving on cable (which I would assume would include the internets), I'd actually be getting better value then I'm getting now. Would I have to shell out some money for moving expenses and new (shitty) furniture? Probably. But it might be the better thing to do. And then I can be in a position to move right around when I get my bar results next Fall, if my lease starts/ends October 1st. If I get insurance reimbursement for my losses, I can put part of it towards moving (as, while I'd like to replace the piano keyboard, I can live without an iPod stereo, a netbook, and a food processor). Same with the security deposit from the Portland apartment and the (remainders of) the security deposit from this one. Also, my financial aid check will be in by then, meaning that I don't necessarily have to rely on financial help from Mom. Finally, doing this would probably get me out of going home from the holidays due to expense. God, this idea just keeps getting better and better.
My dad thinks it might be a good idea, but is reserved. I'm going to talk to my therapist about it tomorrow... after I tell him how right he was about all this bullshit and apologize for not listening about kicking these assholes out to begin with.
