Last month I kind of got hit by a bombshell. One of my roomies suddenly couldn't afford to live at our place anymore and had to make a quick decision to move in with her boyfriend. I hadn't told my roomies yet that I was planning on moving back to Socal, so I thought it was appropriate to let them know. As a result, the remaining 2 roomies decided to move. I hadn't found a job yet, which forces me to move as well. I couldn't help but feel f*cked. I was going to tell them soon and assumed they would just find a replacement for me. I still wish that's what they would've done because I still don't know when I'm leaving. At first, I thought I wouldn't have a job and would be forced to move at the end of March regardless of whether I had a new job or not (was going to move back with my family). But luckily my contract got extended once again (yes, still as a temp...), so I decided to keep my job while I continue looking. Anyway, when we first talked about it, I thought I wouldn't have a job and they made the decision quickly to all move out. When I found out later that I would stay, they had all already made their plans. So, that means I have to move twice, which really sucks. But I don't blame anyone. It's no one's fault. It's just a really unfortunate situation.
I found a place already and I'm moving next week. Luckily, I was able to find a place that's completely move-in ready. All I need to bring are my clothes, computer, and toiletries. I packed all the stuff I don't need, like clothes, kitchen stuff, etc., and moved them to Erik's house for storage. That way, once I find a job, I won't have to pack all over again and will be pretty much ready to make the move. I am also getting rid of most of my furniture. I am super stressed about selling my bed. No one wants it! I paid a lot of money for it too... but I think a lot of people are repulsed by the idea of buying a used bed. So I feel f*cked about that too...
The job hunt is hard. I flew to LA last month for 2 interviews but didn't get them. And I actually hadn't been applying for a while because Erik was here on break, and then after that, we kind of had our crisis and my energy was focused on the move. But now that I sort of know what's going on, I started applying again. I really, really hope to be able to move by the summer. Erik and I still want to move in together, but he's not sure about what he'll be doing during the summer. He's applying to internships all over the country, so he's not sure where he'll be. So, there's a chance I may have to do yet another move. Lol. I just hope everything works out.
