I've had a couple days to let it sit that I have gotten my dream job...and my attention span is getting shorter! It's weird, I'm so excited...yet it's hard to believe that my life is going to change big time. I'm going to be a working girl! Which is what I've wanted, nothing after work to do that will make me feel guilty for having fun. Earning real money! It will be so fantastic.
In the past few days I've needed to do somethings for a background check. It's been crazy! The funniest part is that I needed to go and be fingerprinted. I got the cards on wednesday around noon. I went down the the sheriff's office to the county jail around 3:45. I waited forever to be talked to. Then I finally got to talk to someone. They had to go ask, but yes, they charged 5 dollars to have fingerprints done. Well I didn't have any cash, so i went out to the car where my mom was, she had a 20 so i took that back in. Guess what? The jail won't break anything, so I had to go find change for a 20. I mean come on...it's a 20 for someone who hasn't broken the law! So I went to my aunt's place of business and she changed the money for me and I got to tell her my good news. So I head on back to the jail...it's 4:45 by this time. I get there and the lady says "we just started meals, so you'll have to wait till they are over". I'm like this is crazy, the only thing I could do by that point was laugh. So eventually I went back that night and got it done. The jail has a nifty fingerprinting machine...it's all computerized...last time I had my finger prints taken which was in kindergarten, it was all ink and paper! Overall the process isn't bad, just crazy experiences like that one!
What I have accomplished: looking for apartments, looking at uhaul rentals, booked a flight for graduation, and other stuff...Much still to do. I'm looking at apartments this upcoming week, I'm pretty excited about that! Yippee. I hope I can find something good...I hate searching online, you can make a dump look good online. Plus once you find one that you think looks like it's actually a winner, you go to apartment ratings and see all this bad stuff about it. I decided in raleigh that apartment ratings isn't always right...so I'll check it out in person. Good times! More about this process as it continues....!
Much love!

I learned that same thing about apartments - you can't always trust the ratings. It seems the people who have something to say are usually the ones who happened to have a bad experience. It's not necessarily an indicator of the place as a whole. Good luck in your apartment hunt!
