The post previous to this one was regarding our housing situation, and the problems associated with it. Nothing is resolved, not at all, but, we did have a housing meeting with the owners of our building. We voiced our concerns to them, they pretty much said that while they are sympathetic, all we can do is put our complaints on the maintenance board, and hope for the best. Basically, they were saying that they have our money, so tough luck. Apparently, in talking to our program supervisor, MSU will be moving back to the Hotel in Arlington for coming semesters. If only we could have stayed there in the first place! I'm sure they don't have a rodent, roach, and mold problem. Oh, and here's the best part! We pay $1500 to live in a small room with 4 total people, in bunk beds. Apparently, we would also pay $1500 to live with just 1 other person in the same area. So, because we have 4, instead of 2, we are penalized by having less space, but pay the exact same amount...THANKS MSU for choosing such a great place to live! Location Location Location, right?
I officially began my run to the White House yesterday. I know I know, I am not 35 years old, so maybe I am getting a little bit ahead of myself, but, let me explain. I went RUNNING to the White House. It was a warm day, so I figured I would go and see what Barack was up to. I asked the Secret Service but apparently he was busy doing something.
Around 2 this afternoon, I will be taking off for Annapolis, Maryland to visit a midshippman. It will be nice to get out of the city, even if it is just for a little bit. I have been feeling a little stuck in the district, not in a bad way, it's just when you don't have a car, and can't get outside the beltway very easily, you start to appreciate your time away.
I have a mid-term paper due next friday, the same day the mom and pop show come to DC. I am about halfway done now, and hope to have it taken care of by tomorrow, just so I have nothing to worry about. I do have some other work to do for my professional development course yet, but I'll get to it.
Next up is my decision on New York and the Teaching Fellows. I don't know what I am going to do, and it's wearing me down slowly. I am not sure what I am going to end up doing.
Time for lunch,
Andy
