OK, the story.

[dragonlady7]

So, we're moving.
Dave's starting back to RIT for summer quarter. Which is June 7th.
May 29th is my sister's wedding.
May 17th, Dad's slated for deployment to Iraq. (Yes. He may miss the wedding. MOTHERFUCKERS. But that's a topic for another day.)
June 1, we gotta be out of this apartment.

Did I mention that Dave hasn't heard back from RIT yet so we don't even know for sure whether he's in or not?

So, we're moving to Buffalo.
However.
He's moving back in with his mom. OK.
I'm not. I don't think living with his mom is really an option for me. Somehow.

He's going to live in Buffalo and commute to Rochester. Given that he's got EZPass and a car that gets 45 miles per gallon on the highway, that's manageable.
Can he afford an apartment? Only if he gets a job. Will he have time for a job? Perhaps not.
So.
I am possibly, maybe, going to find a place with one of his friends who was looking for a roommate. I like living in a big place with a bunch of roommates.
I was thinking Buffalo.
Haven't really started looking for a job there. It's... scaring me. Well, sure.

I was actually thinking about being a bartender. That seemed kinda cool.
I think i'd prefer Buffalo to Rochester. But I have better odds of finding a full-time job in Rochester, I think. However, I have very few friends left in Rochester.
i don't want to have to get a car. Darius recommends a bike. He's probably right but I feel about bikes roughly the way Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes does. (If you don't know what that means, either look it up or stop reading this blog, you savage. To the rest of you, yes, there are people who DON'T KNOW who that is.)
Anyway.

I have a shitload of packing to do. Packing and cleaning. I need to go on a Massive Reduction of Possessions binge.
As a natural pack rat, i find this difficult and even painful. Please, pray for me.

While in Rochester-area, I intend to get back in contact with the U of R's english dep't and secure their assistance in applying to grad schools in Europe. That's just a side thought sustaining me at the moment.
I don't know what the heck to do first. I'm going to run around in circles a little now. OK? OK. :) Thanks.
