Update no. 18

So, major changes have happened lately. I have been dealing with moving out of my apartment for the past week and a half. It’s been very stressful. Basically, ever since one of my roommates moved out, there’s been trouble within the house over the lease and a couple of bills. It’s nothing to be worried about. There were just a couple of times when I didn’t think my roommates would pull through in paying their end. Plus, the roommate that left had the lease under her name so we had to figure out what to do about everything and if I needed to pay a security deposit now. Everything is okay and it’s not like I have to pay anybody anything. But I feel like this would be a good time to get out just in case something else hits the fan.

So I’m moving out tonight. Dad is picking me up on his way from the airport. I might have to come back for a couple of stuff but that’s alright. I will also be coming back and forth from SR to SF because I still want to find a job here. I called the EKG place once again asking them for my certificate and apparently they didn’t charge me right for the last time they used my credit card and I had to pay them an extra $25 because of a late fee that I paid when I had to pay the initial deposit. I gave them an earful for not letting me know until now, especially since the person I talked to last week said my certificate was ready to be sent to me. Anyway, the certificate is already in the mail and I have an electronic copy just in case.
As I said, I will still look for a job and a new place to live in the city. I don’t expect nor do I want you guys to pay for the rent for the new place. I gave my roommates my 30 day notice, which still means that I have to pay a partial amount for next month’s rent. So the apartment is still mine for a while and I’ll use it for when I am here for interviews and for when I’m trying to save up for the new apartment.

I did get the letter from SVA, finally. Personally, I thought the welcoming package would be a lot more fun than just a roster of the faculty – like, seriously, what makes them think I care about that right now? I don’t think I’m ready yet financially to attend their classes for this coming fall, especially since I have missed the boat on financial aid and on the big scholarship they offer. But I will talk to them tomorrow and find out if I can defer my admission to the next semester. I think that I would be able to raise enough money to move there and start school if I get a job and work until the end of the year.
Things have happened in the other areas of my life but they’re currently not as important as this.

Thank you for sending rent money for next month. I obviously won’t be paying it in full but I will still need to pay part of it because I did give them my 30 day notice only a few days ago. Thank you also for sending allowance and food. Thank you also for all the congratulations for the letter. I know I have been very quiet lately and I’m sorry. I have just been too stressed about leaving the apartment and leaving San Francisco for a while. I’m also very sad that I might have to stop the chorus for a while and I totally don’t think you understand how much it means to me so I don’t want to talk about it. I just really can’t talk about all of this. I just need to work on getting a job, following through on the commitments I made and then I can relax enough to go on from that.
