Okay, now I have something to talk about! I just found out about an hour ago that a 2 bedroom apartment in the building I'm living in is only $350 per month, and right now, I'm paying $230 per month. That's only an extra $120 per month, and if I have a roommate, it's only $175 per month, which is $55 cheaper than what I'm paying right now.

Jill, my roommate from last year when I lived in the dorms, was going to live in a house over the summer with one of her friends, who was going to charge over $100 more per month than what she'd pay if she lived with me. So we'd both be saving money.

I was going to see if I had enough money to move in like...tomorrow or Thursday, and just go on my own for three months until school got out and Jill could move in with me. I had over $1,000 tucked away in my savings account the last time I checked, but then when I called Mom at work to tell her about the idea, but then I realized that I'd paid almost $600 in books and tuition and that sucked most of my money away, plus other small things.

Plus, I don't know what I'm actually paying for when it comes to rent, groceries, and whatnot. I don't know if Mom or Dad are transferring money into my account, and how much of the money that I'm spending is actually mine. Anywho. I'm going to go home on Thursday, most likely, and get my spending figured out, to see what I'll be able to afford.

I'm going to try to move into a 2 bedroom by April, that way I'll be in there for a month, and I'll be able to figure out where everything of mine is going to go, I'll get all settled in, and then in May when school is over, Jill can move in, and I can help her with that, and that way we won't both be trying to move our shit in at the same time ('cause Lord knows we both have a lot of crap).

So. I'll let y'all know how this goes. Wish me luck!
