I paid my tuition bill today. Ouch. I'm not getting paid for another week. I need to write to Dad and tell him to get that damn check in the mail. ("Send it, and send it damn quick," in the words of an enterprising landlady of Harlem in the 1920s.)
Someone from the apartment complexes in Bloomington called. The smallest and cheapest building, which is what I wanted, is all full. However, while the others cost more, they are still nearby, and I get more for the money, so it's not that big a deal. I suppose I will hear from them tomorrow. I am nervous and scared. I know that people with suckier credit than mine get apartments all the time. I also know that it's a college town and there are a lot of stupid kids running around with piss-poor credit, and some of these kids live in apartments. My odds are good.
In terms of what they asked on the app, I've never been evicted, sued, or bankrupt.
Amber said I would easily get an apartment. I wanted to throw my arms around her and give her a big hug when she said that. It's sort of nice to know that the Helium-Voiced, Footless Wonder (two inside jokes) believes in me.
I absolutely HAVE TO do RPG stuff today. I've been putting it off because of apartment hunting, and also because I've felt kind of low. But goddammit, I'm proud of Terra Incognita and I want to see it take off.
I really want a mint chocolate chip shake. I tried to make one yesterday but I put ice in and also too much milk, so it tasted weak rather than minty and chocolatey. Yuck.
I'm off like a rocket, yo.
