new ears please.
April 19, 2003 - 5:33 pm

anyway, my ears kinda hurt while swimming, being that they got all clogged up with water. how exactly does water clog an ear?

today, two days later, they are still.. like clogged. i put drops in once and i'm going to do that again soon. i dislike this greatly.

other news. i now have all the forms i need for odu. i'm very annoyed that the one form is indeed for those applying for in-state tutition. i had to fill out my name, address, ssn, check no - meaning that i don't want to apply for in-state and sign it. a waste of time. but it's done and will be faxed back on monday.

i also received my housing packet. i'm oddly excitied about this. i'm also suddenly oddly scared.

i need to send in $150.00 non-refundable deposite dealie.

i'm also realizing that college housing equals having a roomate. i've not had a roomate since.. well college or four years. college housing also equals non-private sleeping rooms, be it a dorm room or apartment or whatever.

i dislike this. i like my own space. i've very used to having it. i don't care about sharing the living room, kitchen, whatever else.. i just want my own place to sleep - which is all i'd do there as i havn't dated in quite some time.

i know that the answer is to find my own apartment and not have to worry about it. here's the problem.. i have to turn in the housing stuff by may 1st to guarantee a space. that's what i need above all - a space.

i do want to go down and look around, but i don't think i can do that by may 1st - esp seeing as i don't have any vacation days until april 29th, my one year anniversary here.

so, i feel i have to apply and possibly piss away $150.00.

i am looking into another option with these semi-university owned apartments that do have private bedrooms, kinda like four bedrooms with one common living room/kitchen - a suite. i like the sound of this. it's $485 per student per installment (i dunno what an installment is yet, but i will soon). they also say you can use financial aid money to pay for it. i like the sound of this place.

again, my problem is the may 1st deadline. looking at the package sent to me.. it stamped with the date of april 10th. i got it on 19th, that's nine days! that can't be right, can it??

no it's not right. i didn't ask for it until the 15th, so that's the soonest it could have been mailed. must be some kinda pre-paid for dealie.

so really this wedensday is the longest i can wait, unless i send it by some 2nd day or overnight dealie. i don't think i need to do that.

oh well, i have no doubt whatever i do it will get all fucked up. if it didn't that'd be boring.
