final tally

packing: so u-haul is still in possession of my stuff. but it finally made its way from chicago to new york (if jersey city counts). apparently you have to pay for the shipping before they will ship it. no one told me that! i finally chucked plenty of dough at them. and now my stuff is sitting in a u-haul storage place in jersey city.

graduating: this has been done and out of the way for months now, but of course there's still stuff to deal with. my school hadn't changed my graduation date from may to august, so my student loan companies are trying to weasel money out of me. tons of phone calls, plenty of stress, and a few tears. i am hoping this debacle will be over soon.

job hunting: at this point i have three part-time jobs. autocad work at that design firm. i work there three days a week and get paid WELL. then, material library work two half days a week and sometimes more. they don't pay as well. and finally, i work on and off, a few hours here a few hours there, for a project manager. which is awesome, cuz that's what i want to do.

apartment hunting: you would never believe it, but i'm still looking!!! i ended up subletting a friend's apartment for two months for ridiculously on the cheap. that ended a couple of weeks ago, so now i am living at my boyfriend's place. his itty bitty studio. let's hope i can find a place by november first!

money: money isn't as big of a concern as it was in july. i'm still barely making ends meet. but things are looking up. although it was a slow month. things are starting to firm up more in regards to each of my jobs, so that looks really good.

christian: no progress on the greencard front. only get to wait until they get to his application and send a letter approving it or denying it. who knows! otherwise, living together is good. i hate that his apartment is so small. and that i don't have all my stuff, and half of what i do have is in suitcases. it a bummer, but things are good otherwise. we aren't killing each other.

more information to come!
