Lately, some of you have been getting on my case about not blogging much this summer (I'm looking at you, Mike MacDonald), but I swear I have good reason. Actually two good reasons.
The reason I didn't blog in July/August:
Work. I was doing three people's jobs (for the salary of one) and it was a crazy summer in the office. It was also a crazy summer outside of the office--crazy good, actually. Probably my best summer yet. I went to Virginia Beach with some of my favorite people ever, attended 2 concerts, started running, networked my ass off, signed up for an extra-curricular committee, have been super social and met a bunch of new people and turned 24, to name just a few things. All that didn't leave much time for blogging, even though I know I have put up hardly any pictures of our trip to Hawaii (but I take solace in the fact that my travel buddy and blood relative has put up NONE).
And the reason I didn't blog in September:
Potential homelessness. My lease is up in exactly 6 days, and I still have nowhere to live. I've applied to stay in my current apartment with two new roommates, but we still haven't heard whether or not we're approved. I can't even tell you how many plans I have had fall through. I was looking at 2 bedrooms with a girl who turned out to be crazy. I was going to get my own place, but rent is hella expensive this fall in any neighborhood where the probability of my death is less than 50%. I was gonna live in a not-great neighborhood, but literally, all the apartments I saw where terrible. I was going to get new roommates in my current place, but one backed out. I replaced her with another, but then she told me she was waiting to hear about a different place. Her other place fell through, so we got our applications in, but now we still aren't approved and there is no time to come up with a new plan if we're not, so I will literally be without a home.
"Wow," you might be saying. "How is she handling all this stress so well?" I'm glad you asked. A great support system, and a little prayer. But mostly wine. And Rolos.
