That really is not the right word… More like roommate shopping is what I’ve been doing here in Lubbock. I can live in a house that’s decent and fix it up but if the roommates stink my life will be miserable.
I’ve found a few places that I like and today I plan on going and meeting the potential roommates since that will be the selling factor for me. All of the homes are close to campus which is a big plus for me as I do not really want to pay for a parking pass (or gas). They all have hardwood floors with carpeted bedrooms which is great, less cleanup and less to worry about. My only catch is that the one landlord said no indoor pets, even though Jackson is small and is house trained. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do with him.
I also finally filled my schedule up with a blow off elective. I need 2 hrs. of electives and this will fill that requirement up and since I only have to go to class 2-3 times a semester I’m even more happy. My dilemma now is grad school. I only have 70 hrs. left to get a Master’s but I can’t decide if it’s what I really want to do. Do I continue with the Bachelor’s and get out in the workforce (or military) or take my time and get the Master’s degree and then make my life decisions? It is a lot to think about while I’m here, but it has to be decided some time…
