dawn is breaking
I ended my worst semester ever (grade wise the worst ever, though I ended my bachelor career with a 3.5 so it’s all good.) So since May 15th, I’ve been a college graduate and in about a week from now I will be a career person. I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to survive in this career world or just at this job. I’m frightened that I’ll screw it up or hate it or that something will go wrong, so everyone should keep their fingers crossed for me. What will be will be.
Just a few days ago I returned from Vegas. It was a good getaway. I did a little gambling, some shopping, lots of walking, saw a show, ate lots food (probably gained some pounds in the process), went swimming, and more. Damn, it’s hot out there. It was 100 degrees plus for the whole week. Over all I lost money, but I did have some good days, and I didn’t lose that much overall.
I’m back in the WI now, relaxing for just a bit or at least trying to. I have a sort of a dilemma, well it could be worst but I have to find a place to live starting this upcoming August 1st. I feel that I am super great at living with and/or getting along with just about everyone so I left with 2 choices and I am having a hard time deciding
1.) About 3 weeks ago I went to see a place on the west side (7 minute drive to Epic according to one of the guys that lives there and Epic is near where I will be working). The place is a duplex, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2 car garage, patio, and beautiful. It looks brand new, and probably is. If I were to live there, I would have 2 roommates, one male 23, and the other male 26. I would have my own master bedroom, walk in closet, my own bathroom, huge basement, lots of storage, and a garage space for 2/3 of the year. This will cost me 385 per month. They also told me that utilities and internet/cable, etc will amount to about 80 dollars a month. So total for EVERYTHING it will cost me about 465 a month to live in this place. I met one of the guys who works at Epic. He seems nice, and he’s that I want to pinch his cheeks cute. The other guy I’ve talked to on the phone once or twice and seems pretty cool and nice.
2.) Right after I looked at this place I had lunch with another perspective roommate. She is a recent graduate from the UW, works at a lab downtown, but wants to get a place on the west side. Very nice girl and I think we would really get along. I initially thought it would be better to live with this girl because then I could get a place on my own with her, I wouldn’t feel like I am moving into someone else’s place, and I think she could be a potentially better friend.
The problem after observing a potential place that is probably the best I could find for the price living with one other person, I don’t know it just looked very minimal than the place I saw with those guys, and it would be more costly than that place too. It was 2 bedroom and two bathroom which is nice, and it wasn’t bad by no means, but it was small, garage space would cost 40 dollars a month, and it was really nothing compared to the guys place and it cost more. I mean that place was like 890 -930 which is like 445-465 per person, and that’s not including internet, cable, gas, and electric which would amount to much more split among 2 people.
I just don’t know where I should or want to live. I mean first of all if I don’t live the one girl I’ll feel kinda bad, cause I did give her the impression that I wanted to live with her and when I returned from Vegas we could start searching for places. And she did seem pretty cool and totally livable with, but is the price and grandness of this other place something I can really past up? And those guys seemed cool too…. And considering how much I did stay at my place this year, price should be a high priority. Grrr… what do I do? I don’t have that much time to decide either. Eek.
