Gah!

*The internet in my house is not working. There is nothing more infinitely frustrating than not having a functioning internet connection. This is a horrible time for this kind of thing to happen, too, since I'm in the process of finding a place to live in DC, a process that requires me to be able to check and send email and to check updated listings on Craigslist. I'm in Panera now, have been for more than 2 hours, so I'm sure I'm going to smell like food for the rest of the day. Or, you know...until I shower.

*I still haven't found a place to live. I know I only looked at three places, but still! The last time I tried this, I was instantly asked to move into the second place I looked. The perfect place, I might add. I have been asked to move into a place I looked at, but not the perfect one. I know I shouldn't freak out yet, but it's July 14th already. I have two weeks until I wanted to move into a place and they're all going so fast. There were 11 people going to one of the open houses on Saturday, and at the other one I have to imagine that more than 11 people showed up since it was drawn out over the course of three hours and in the first 20 minutes there were already at least 7 or 8. I tried my hardest at all the places I saw to be very personable and outgoing, but that is a huge challenge for me and I felt like I spent most of the time just smiling like an idiot and nodding a lot. Everyone please keep your fingers crossed that the perfect place will call or email me today. And also that the internet will be up and running within the hour so I don't have to come back to this place again.
