Back to Class

So I started back to class on Monday. It is going to be a lot of work, but not too much that I can't handle it. It's nice being off for the summer so I have plenty of time to do work. There are a bunch of 4 to 5 page papers in this class. The first one is due on Monday. It's not too bad, I just need to get working on it. It's hard to motivate myself though because my husband is off until Monday. It's nice to spend a 4 day weekend at home relaxing with him, but I also know I need to get this work done and I would prefer not to finish it late Sunday night. This week has been pretty good so far. Monday I hung out at home looking for new apartments until class. Tuesday I stopped by to see my coworkers in the office which was great :) (I miss those ladies). I also went to have lunch with my brother. Then I came home and did some more searching for apartments. Then yesterday I went and had lunch with my coworkers and we had a great time. Then I had class. After class we met some of my husband's friends for dinner to celebrate one of their birthdays. Today, my husband is home and we have an appointment at 11:00 to see one of the apartments. We have another appointment on Saturday. I am going to continue to look for places, but I wish this process was a lot easier than it is. It's so time consuming and I'm looking for specific things. Also, I wish more people reviewed the place they live. I say that and yet I have never put up a review of the place I live. I think I'll do that soon. Anyway, on Tuesday I went ask our management when we might see our new lease terms. He wasn't very nice (not mean just not friendly) and said "you mean you haven't gotten it). I told him we hadn't and I was wondering since we need to know and our lease is up in August, but then I realized it's actually up July 31st. So now I need to find out if they have to give us 30 days to sign the lease or would we have to be out on July 31st. I just hate not knowing. We don't really know what our rent is going up around here, I'm just anticipating it to be so high. If it wasn't going to go up that high than we may be able to stay. Don't get me wrong, I love where I live. If we had bought a house, I would have really missed this place. I like being able to walk across the street and go to a bunch of different restaurants, RiteAid, the mall, the grocery store, etc. I would really miss all that if we moved to an area where stores were not in walking distance. Well the place we are looking at today is just a little further down and we would still be close to some stores. It would be a hike to get to the stores we go to know, but it would be an option. I'll update after we see these apartments :)
