Spring

Today is the first official day of my spring break. And its snowing. Snowing. I had heard that none of it would stick, but sticking it is. I also heard that in a worse case senario we'd get 7 inches. That is too much snow for March. The END of March, no less.

On Monday Eric and I are going to sign the papers for our first apartment. I'm very excited but also mostly terrified because I've never lived away from home. Little things are surprising me, like having to pay for electricity. I've never had to worry about that, we've sort of just always had it. (Obviously my parents took care of it.)

I'm getting more and more stressed out lately, I think because of worrying about money and stuff. Rent, security deposit, T-Mobile bill, Sprint bill (I still have to get the text charges off). Then I have to get the power turned on, look at our budget and see if we can afford an internet connection. Eric wants cable. Its just getting to be a lot to worry about. Not to mention the landlords.

The lady that called Eric said she'd be happy to rent us the apartment and that we could move our stuff in before April 1. She said we she just needed me to fill out an application as well, so that she could run my credit info and all of that. So we called them the day we were supposed to go down there and sign all the papers, and the guy that answered was a total jerk about it. He kept telling Eric that he looked like a "partier" and that he tried to convince the lady not to rent to us.

We are not party people. Eric works 50 + hours a week, and I work an average of 30 hours a week plus I go to school full time. I'd love to have time to have a party. But no such luck. I mean, to be honest, the only party I have in mind involves Tupperware.

So basically it was a huge hassle dealing with him. I think he might have changed his mind when he talked to us, but still. If they had denied us the place based solely on the fact that we're young, I definitely would have brought some sort of lawsuit. That's illegal! Jeez.

But we did get it all sorted out, and Monday around noon we're supposed to go down there again to sign everything and hopefully get the keys so that we can move some stuff in. I mean I understand it not being immediate, because they have to install a new fridge and shampoo the carpets. So hopefully we'll have everything settled in by the 1st.

And now I have to go get ready to trudge through the frozen tundra that is Wisconsin, so I can catch the bus in time for work. Ugh.
