Hola, Compadres!!
Hi folks. So, thank you everyone for the congratulations. To answer you, Steph, originally I wanted to move mid-August and spend as much of the summer in CT as I could, but from what I've been reading I pretty much hafta move in the beginning of August, possibly late July. It's hard because I don't know the ABC's of looking for living space, so I can only go by what I read and hear. My boss says that in NYC, you almost hafta be ready to sign the lease when you go view the apartment. But in Boston, it would behoove you to look a month or 2 in advance. From what I hear, Chicago is big like NYC but nice like Boston, so I'm not sure what to do there. But a lot of people on Craigslist want someone immediately or ASAP (and let's not talk about the creepy ads from guys who are "lonely and just looking for some companionship and maybe a dish/laundry washer" LMAO). Yes - but the first of the month is rent/lease time, and I guess it's even less likely that you'll find someone willing to let you move in mid-month. So yes, I have about a month after Public Allies to relax and then relocate. Sad. But exciting.
Nevertheless, I did get one bite. I will be calling that lady soon to talk logistics.
Tonight, Shannon is in CT! YAY! But adulthood has officially settled in. I think I have always been a person who prefers a planned engagement, becuz those tend to be the best ones (going to see Craig, visiting Boston, etc). Then everyone knows in advance and everything can be worked out accordingly. However, in youth spontaneity reigns. Sure, you may have nothing to do and nowhere to go, but the point is just to "hang out," I guess. Nothing wrong with that, but as we get older and people start having permanent jobs and commitments and other strangling crap like that, we must start leaning on the planned engagement. I'm excited to see Shannon, but there's kind of this whole hullabaloo over it bcuz everyone's schedules are so different and it's going to be such a short time together. Sad. But exciting!
Yeah.
