Day 194: Musical Chairs

The new roommate situation may end up not so tragic after all. Brie told me to ask friends if they needed a room but I don't have much of what I would call friends here and I wouldn't want to live with any of them. But then I recalled my buddy Sandra in my hometown trying to find a job in a few different cities including Austin. I didn't immediately let her know about the room though because I figured since she was looking at quite a few possible cities that she wouldn't need to know about rooms yet.

When I did get around to shooting her a message though she was fairly ecstatic and set on the room. Problem was that I didn't know that Ran and Kristie are taking Brie's room and it will actually be their room that is free. Telling her that it wasn't the cool funky upstairs room but the small one across the hall was kind of a bummer, but I think it would work out better in the long run. More affordable, we would be sharing a bathroom and hopefully it would keep the couple more secluded in their own area instead of the camp they make of the living room/dining area.

I don't know how well it would go, living with a friend, but I have known this one since middle school and we have had our trials and made it through before. As long as I can have my alone time, quite at night, and clean common areas I think it will be good. I will for sure enjoy the city more with someone to make sure I get out and experience it. Of course, this is not all set in stone. We shall see what happens.
