Today, Patricia, Amanda, and I went on our hunt to find a place of our own. Amanda and I looked online for a bit this morning before we were supposed to meet the realtor at 11. The lady didn't end up showing up til 2 so we went on our own adventures and looked at a few of the places Amanda had found online. They were not promising and not looking the safest so we went and had some Chinese and sushi for lunch to ease our worries. She finally came and we went to view about 4 places that afternoon. The first place we went to look at with the lady was very spacious and is a 2 bedroom. My favorite part about this place might have to be the entire mirror wall. ha ha. I walked in and could not believe my eyes when all I saw was mirror on this wall. It is hilarious in my opinion but I actually really enjoy it. Gives the place a different feel to it. The three of us felt very safe in that area though which is very key for us in this hunt. The other ones we looked at were nice but much smaller. Amanda and I are going to be sharing a room so the master bedroom has to be a tad bigger than the other bedroom or we also talked about one of us sleeping on the futon in the living room. For those of you from Emporia that knew me as an RA, I slept on my futon almost every single day for two years so I have no objection to this offer.
After we finished looking, we put an offer on the mirror wall apartment and dropped some cash to let them know we mean business. ha ha. Just kidding we actually had to pay a deposit of $400 each and fill out a few things. We find out Wednesday if we get it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I am a little apprehensive though because there was another offer ahead of ours but apparently the other person making an offer was a bit demanding and rude so I'm hoping the fact that we are volunteering for a year will help us. I just hung out the rest of the evening and didn't really do anything exciting.
Tomorrow my hopes are to: catch some rays at the pool the sisters have, finish my teaching license application (yes ESU friends, I still have not done that. Someone might be getting a phone call about it tomorrow.), do some coloring, but probably help out at St. James for awhile and get to know the school. Oh! And I found out tonight I have to wear a uniform everyday. It's really just a polo they are providing and then nice pants or skirts but uniform nonetheless. Feel free to express your feelings towards this. I personally hope the school is cold so my legs don't get hot.
Okay well it took me way too long to write this tonight. Missing Kansas and all your wonderful faces! By the way, I do have Skype. I am lauren.halstead. Feel free to add me! :) Good night all!
