time to move on

i'm done for the semester. took my second and last final monday evening. i'm slowly cluing into the rest of my life. i really need to clean the apartment, find a job, and mail my christmas presents. i also need to organize my finances, including paying for next semester.

my roommate is moving to germany for the semester. so we need to find a person to replace him. and negotiate with the management company to lower the rent for the period of time that we can't get someone to replace him. it is assumed that someone would only rent january through may, whereas he will be gone january through august. the utilities have to been changed to my name, and i have to figure out how i'll pay rent for the next few months. i still have savings built up, but i think my life is more expensive than i realize. thus the re-evaluation of my finances.

cleaning also a priority. i'm leaving for a week for christmas, and i know that if i don't do it now it'll never get done. i need to make a list and prioritize. a lot of things to do, so little time. but i have to get things done. time to freak out!
