Turns out it *is* cold here
Jan. 23rd, 2012 11:56 amOh my god, Internet, never leave me again.
I have successfully settled into my apartment in Chicago! I have also:
* Found the grocery store, overestimated my weight allowance, dragged everything back six blocks, remembered halfway to the third floor that Peapod is a thing.
* Locked myself out for an hour, sans keys and phone.
* Met upstairs neighbor who 1) is very nice and 2) knows how to jimmy locks with a credit card.
* Hung out with Roommate and his girlfriend, who are fantastic people. I lucked out, third floor walk-up or not.
* Sold my soul to Cricket for internet access. The internet tells me they're evil itself, but I didn't have many other options and scraping along on my iPad's limited 3G was too painful.
I managed to forget: my primary art supplies (fortunately the auxiliary set was in my laptop bag), a pillow, and an umbrella. Not bad!
Now that I've got internet back it's time to crank the job search into high gear (and try to get freelance gigs in the meantime, plus wrap up the stuff I've got) - I've got two months before I have to go home (or Atlanta, it's a thing) in disgrace.
