La la la

I think I am probably going to spend more time in Crerar and the Reg this summer than I ever did while I was still in school. Figures, eh? Still no internet in my apartment, nor the apartments of anyone else I know. So, here I am, bored and in the library trying to come up with decent cover letters. Especially for this one technology job that requires an entertaining cover letter... hopefully I'll be able to take care of that, because it'd be fun to work for a random gadget selling company.

One thing I forgot to mention yesterday was what I found in the shared backyard of my apartment complex the day I moved in...




And, ironically, this is the first chicken I've met in person that hasn't been behind bars. We're debating whether it's for eating, or egg-laying, or just a pet. It's pretty big, so I'm guessing, unless it's for a very special occasion, it's not for eating, since they would've eaten it by now. If it was a for-eating chicken, I'd be sad, because I'll probably get attached to it, despite its toe-eating.

In other news, my apartment finally has hot water. It hasn't had hot water since I moved in Friday night, so I will finally be able to take a hot shower tonight. I can't wait. Apparently the water heater was so old it was unrepairable... that's nice to know. But, hey, it's Chicago. Most of the apartments are old.

And now... back to my job search. Here's hoping something turns up soon.

GOOD LUCK! Also, that is the angriest looking chicken I have ever seen. Lock your doors and windows.

Done and done. In fact, since we're on the first floor, our windows even have bars over them. Classy, eh? (-;

LOOK! It's a Really Pretentious Icon!!!

Heck, yeah, that's classy. Lol. I'm glad because my neighbors downstairs have a puppy now so I'm hoping the barking dog will be further deterrent from jacking my shit. How's the apartment in general, though? Livable?

*HUGS*

Man, I don't have a pretentious icon to match that. Darn you. (-;

The apartment in general is actually quite livable. There's a decent amount of space, a nice little sunroom. It's nothing fancy, but it works. Though I live in fear that I'm going to fall through the loose floorboard in the living room and lose a leg or something. (-:

LOOK AGAIN! Flipping it makes it even MORE pretentious!!!

Yeah. This one kind of scares me... I love yours, though! I loved that scene. Poor despairing Baltar.

Oh sweet! I'm really glad you aren't going to be totally miserable there, although... try and keep your limbs attached pls?

I'll do my best. ^_^
