Apartment Hunting

Day 2

Whew.  Yesterday Dad and I drove all over Lawrence, KS, looking for a place for me to live next year.  We were a little worried when it seemed like all the places near campus were full for the fall.  But then we stopped by a complex we had only passed by on Wednesday.  Success!  I even put a hold on the apartment to give us 3 days to decide.  We've got another appointment today, and I'm sure we'll drive around a ton too, but at this point I do have a place to live.  It's a bit pricy, but totally worth it since it's head and shoulders above all the other places.  The only problem is that it's not available until Aug. 5.  And I have to start work at the lab July 27.  So we've got to figure out somewhere for me to stay for about 10 days.
