Want to be outraged? [click]

ugh. i am exhausted. my body feels like it’s been wrung out with a wash cloth. it’s the stress.
i don’t have a place to live at NU for this coming year. i’d be happy to sublet for fall quarter only, but that hasn’t helped me find a place. i took a look at one place today, close to the corner of oak & davis, and it seemed promising at first glance. nice building on the outside, cool first floor lobby. but the rooms smelled bad, had shitty carpeting, and old and cramped kitchens and bathrooms. i’m not going to live there.
tomorrow, thursday, i need to find a place to live. bottom line. otherwise, i think i’m going to end up driving up here again to look at places. i walked around evanston for over an hour today, looking for buildings with signs advertising vacancies. i found a couple. i’ll call them in the morning. i’m holding out hope, but the rental market here is tight, and i’m distressed. i like being settled, and right now, i am very unsettled.
i’m staying with ryan m., ben c., and the rest of the gang that lives here. man, this apartment is huge. it’s like a house! i’m going to try to get their DSL networked properly, if only as a favor for them letting me stay here.
anyway, i’m keeping my fingers crossed. :/
