It's the end of my second week here, and there is too much to say, really. I love my apartment, and though I don't think my roommate and I will be best friends, I think we'll be able to get along and live together--especially since I don't think we'll be in the apartment too much at the same time together ( Read more... )

My time here is coming to a close and it is all startlingly real. My last day of work was Friday--I'm officially unemployed now.

Ever since I found out I got in to Emerson, I feel like things have been rolling very slowly. I knew that I had a lot of things to figure out, but I also knew that I had some time to figure it out. In the past few weeks, things have been moving at a pretty decent pace. I made my doctor's appointment to get my medical records straightened out, and ( Read more... )

I've started my apartment search in earnest. I've been scanning craigslist like a fiend, reading hundreds of posts a day and gleaning the 4 or 5 viable options for me. It's still a little early for a September move, but I would like to have a place set in stone by July 1 ( Read more... )
