Don't Stop Believin'

Yes I was a little inspired by Journey. I heard that song today and its been stuck ever since. The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind to say the least. Situations occurred between my current roommate and I and we will no longer be living together as of July 1st. We initially had planned on living together, but due to what I call lack of communication, things never came together. She wound up finding her own place, which apparently she can afford. I wish I could say the same thing. I can really only afford about 450/month do to my student loans. And the fact I get paid a horrible amount of money for what I do. Regardless, I've been searching high and low to find a place. I was finding lots of studio apartments in my price range and every time I'd call it would be oh we just filled our last spot or nope sorry nothing is available at the moment. I called this one studio which would have been perfect. Everything included for $400/month. The only down side was it was an additional 10 minutes away from work and I'm already quite far. I drove down there today to check the space out (turns out it was in the ghetto) they just signed a new person for the place. I had called yesterday afternoon to see if they had any available and they did. Crazy how quickly things fill up. I've been really down on myself, because I really do want to live on my own. No roommates at all. But honestly, I can't do it. Boy and I aren't ready to live together yet. I don't want to rush anything there. I've had people from work offer me to stay with them, but I feel like I'm intruding on their families. But I don't have much option. So I contacted a girl from work and she said it should be good. I will have my own bed and bath which will be nice. At least this gives me a little bit more time to search for a place of my own and hope that something pops up in my price range. I will keep looking, but there is less of a panic to get into a place by July 1st. Even though things are really tough in every aspect of my life I've got 'don't stop believing' playing in my head. I trust that things will work out how they should. And after all of this stuff settles, I will be a stronger person for it.


Peace&Love
