I'm starting to think that life may be about to change drasticlly for me.
I have until the end of the month to find somewhere to live. My current roommate was asked to house-sit for his folks for 6 months and I can't blame him for wanting to live for free for a while. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the cost of living in Providence has skyrocketed over the last few years and most of the 1-bedrooms I'm finding aren't much cheaper than simply talking over the other 1/2 of the bills at my current place.
Now, I love Prov and RI but I'm starting to see this as an opportunity to move on. I've gotten to a point in my career where I know what I'd like to be doing (something that's taken many years and much difficulty to achieve) and I know I'll need to go back to school. I've been looking down the same road for a few years now but there's always been an excuse not to do it. I've finally stabalized my finances to the point where they're no longer one of the bigger excuses but if I have to live here on my own that will probably go out the window rather quickly.
I know where I want to go; it's a very strong program at an affordable university in a great place. I'm almost positive I can still get in (they accept applications into July) and I've got a friend who is interested in coming along. All I need to do now is get off my ass and actually do it. So why am I writing screwing around here instead?
