So I'm at work right now and I can say officially now that we have an apartment. The lease is not signed yet, but our applications were approved so it's a done deal now. Target date August 8. The apartment is in uptown (3511 Harriet Ave) and it's got a lot of nice woodwork and 2 bedrooms and hardwood floors and a backyard/patio that we share with ( Read more... )

So I'm working now at Sear's in the Land's End department (did I mention that already? I don't remember.) and I'm enjoying it pretty well so far. Wanting employment when you don't have it works wonders as far as appreciating whatever you're doing ( Read more... )

I slept well, but I feel bad because we were supposed to go out last night w/julia and ( Read more... )

Needless to say, this was completely unexpected, and I already used my loan for tuition and a few months rent.
