Moving Back

Just saw the most amazing apartment in Craig's list. It has hard wood floors, a gas stove and big windows, located at Myrtle and Himrod and just almost affordable, but heat was included. I really really really want it. But the sad truth is that since its on Craig's list now (June) the people want the renter to move in July first and while I'm totally willing to move back for July the truth is its not going to happen. I have already arranged commitments for July and it will cost me a lot of wasted money to cancel them. So I'll watch as my dream apartment gets lived in my someone else. But since I'm crazy enough to call the people renting it out and ask about the place, I learned they rent out outs of similar places in the same area and maybe something else will be available when I'm ready. Maybe something in the same building. OR maybe no one will take this place and when I'm part I can bargain them down a few hundred dollars because it's just been empty for 3 months and they really need it rented. Here's to hoping.

Classes are done

Well, I'm officially done with classes for my masters degree. YIPPEE!!! Am I out celebratiing with friends, painting the town red, causing scandels that Aberdeen isn't soon to forget? No. Not at all. I even only just realized I had a beer in the fridge. And the first sip of lime infused Corona makes me sick for hot summer nights in cities I love.

At least now I can say that I've completely 2/3 of the work I need to do for this damn degree. And even if I quite now I'll still get a diploma, but not a degree. So I'm sticking through. This weekend should be fruitful. I'm attending some storytelling events which should lead to contacts with people I want to interview for my dissertation. And in other good news I might just end of working on a film commemorating Jeannie Robertson. Fingers crossed on that.

In other positive news, I've turned in a tenative draft of a chapter in for my dissertation, because I wanted to submit the essay for an academic essay competition and I had to be officially submitted to my academic institution. So my extremely wonderful prof. accepted the essay. Fingers crossed on the essay competition as well, it will look good on my resume. But having written about 2500 words that will go towards my actual dissertation feels really really good. So that's something to celebrate.
