For those of you who don’t know (that would be all of you, because I don’t think I have ever mentioned this before), my housemates and I refer to our home as the Panda House. We no longer live in a dorm. We live in a house about a 12 min walk from campus. Our house has been separated into 3 apartments. I share an apartment with two other girls.<\/p>\n
The first semester is almost over and it is time for a spring cleaning in the middle of November.
\nWe recently just called a meeting to discuss what needs to be spiffy’d up!<\/p>\n
Maybe I’ll post pictures when we are done.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, when I came home today there was a little pink sticky note on my door from my landlord that said she’d be showing our apartment to somebody else tomorrow! I am telling you, finding another place to live is not what I want to be doing with my time right now. The stress of finals \u00a0is already here with finals week being less than two weeks away! I know what you are thinking…
\n“Why don’t you just stay at the Panda House next year?”
\nI’ll tell you why… because it is so goshdang EXPENSIVE.<\/p>\n
I want to be closer to campus (although I am already pretty close), and pay less than the 583$ I am paying for rent every month of the year (it does not exclude the summer months) and that is not including utilities. I don’t ever think I’ve ever been so broke before in my life! We have a really nice house and a decent landlord, but I just can’t do it. I just picked up another job.<\/p>\n
Say HELLO to Buffalo Wild Wings!
\nI had my first day of training today, and I loved it.
\nBut it is still a job and takes up time and energy.<\/p>\n
My goals are to find a cheaper place to live, budget my money better, study early and study well for my finals, clean up my house, and stay on top of things with my organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
