There are times when I think I just don't get anything. I tend to take a lot of things on faith, don't question a lot, and just use what's given to me without question or understanding of the background or basics because it's easiest.
I am not a naturally curious person when it comes to a lot of things. Like work. Or school.
I know that's not going to work now, in gradutate school, since curiosity is like the lifeblood. Coming up with new and interesting ideas is good. But I still fall into my old patterns because I just want to get things done, and that's easiest.
In other news, I'm moving apartments. I think I have a moving complex. I could stay, rather easily, at the place I currently reside. It is cheaper than what I'm looking at. But I just don't really like the place. maybe if I keep moving around, I won't feel like I'm in such a rut. Looking for new places is hard. There are so many random things you learn. Like- I want to be responsible for as few bills as possible. That rules out half the places that want the resident to pay for water, trash, etc.
I had problems enough figuring out that I needed to pay for electricity for my new place. They charge me $45 a month for utilities- I thought electricity was covered. Getting that sorted is hard, and keeping track of bills is more difficulty than I care for right now. Plus- I tried paying online but they require some bullshit background check. I would pay by credit card if I needed to, but noo. I can't seem to get it done. And they mail the paper bills a day before they are due. I am glad cable is paid automatically every month.
There is also the fact that I want to be close to campus while Gareth needs to be closeto his work. Driving to my school is very expensive (parking permits are impossible to buy and it's $10-$15 a day inthe garages) and I have come to the realizationthat I really hate buses. Well, buses on a retarded every half-hour to hour schedule. And Gareth can't drive and also cannot really afford a bus pass. So location limits us a lot.
Otherlittle things creep into the decision process. Like availability of washer/dryer+expense. We'd like a place that would take dogs,on the off-chance he brings his out here. Whether the bedroom window faces east and if the curtains actually block light or not. Not deciding factors, but nice to think about.
