So! Update!
- After months of dramatic weirdness, I finally locked down an apartment. It's exactly the one I wanted- near campus, but also to downtown, semi-linked to UF, only UF grad students/faculty, pretty modern building- but first the actual community failed to send me the necessary paperwork, and then it took TWO WEEKS for the company I'm renting from (apparently this community service organization rents some units from the building, which it then rents for like, below market value, and then if you do community service once a month you get an additional $100 rent credit, it's mental) to get my deposit/paperwork, but, whatever, after an eternity, it is miiiiine!
Some of you may be wondering "but Madi, what about that girl you were going to get an apartment with?" It wasn't going to work! At first she sounded mad at me about it, but text messages aren't really great at conveying tone, and I think we're cool now.
- I did find out that my first semester class is completely online, and therefore moving up to Gainesville in May would be foolish. Like, I have to start paying rent, sadly, but I can start the class here in Miami and keep working because...
- ... I got rehired at Lush! It's awesome and I love it there. It's such an amazing difference from any other retail experience I have ever had, because everyone who works there is awesome, and our team is really motivated and our manager is fantastic, so we have a really high-achieving store and we all have a sense of pride about it, and the company is great and the customers are almost always wonderful and I love the stuff, so it's fantastic. Also, keeping busy keeps me from remembering all the stress coming my way, what with grad school and student loans and actually being a responsible adult with a car and stuff.
- DEFIANCE STARTED. IT'S EVERYTHING I DREAMED OF AND MORE. Could I love Stahma Tarr more? It's doubtful! Did I expect to love as many people as I do? No! Did I expect that the Tarrs would meet and exceed my expectations of awesomeness? I HAD HOPES, BUT THEY WERE REALIZED!
- Warehouse 13 came back!!!! For some reason, Syfy released the episode two weeks early so I had already seen it, but there's a movement to hopefully make syfy see that it's an awesome show so all viewers were encouraged to tweet at Syfy and sponsors and use #warehouse 13, which worked well enough that it was a trending topic! It's a stupid thing to get excited over but I will take it. (Please do not cancel my bb show, Syfy. It's precious and adorable and heartrending and I love my boos don't take them away!!!)
- cold_clarity and I started watching The Borgias and our lives were ruined by it because oh jesus. There are like two reasons not to ship Cesare/Lucrezia, and so many more reasons to ship them, so, baby got her first incest ship, it's like a real part of the internet. It's an actual problem and I hate everything about except in that way that actually means "I love it more than words can say." It is full of truly excellent ladies (THEY ARE ALL AMAZING! It's fantastic) and the hottest guy on the planet and, a character who can best be described as "the Gaius Baltar of popes."
