Housing

Turns out that my housing only allows me to stay on campus until summer starts. This means I haven't an idea what I'm going to do once we hit summer. I went into Housing to ask about staying on during summer, but because I won't be taking any classes in summer, I can't stay here, and if I want to return to my apartment, I have to move everything out, store it and then move it all back in next fall.

So, I'm not sure what I'm going to do now.

I'm also trying to find some type of job, and that's not going very well. I first started by looking for a paid internship, but that may be problematic because it requires also registering for classes (ie, an internship) which would cost more than the internship would pay.

So I applied to two positions with the university itself, and I received one of those automatic reply messages to my school email address (not the one I indicated in my application, mainly because my school email address has been sporadically successful at actually connecting to me over the course of the time I've been here). This gives me that old sense of fitting in as the old cog in the wheel situation, as they probably didn't even pay attention to the application's information and just sent out a preprinted response to an address they had using an autopilot feature of response.

Which means I'm going to have to seriously broaden my search to find something, which brings up two possible controversies:

1. I'll find something, and I may end up having to leave school because the work doesn't coincide with the hours required for academics.

2. I won't find anything, and I'll be completely screwed without any further options.
