This apartment hunt thing continues to be a nightmare. I’ve emailed dozens of people about apartments. I contacted one person about potentially becoming a roommate, who emailed and stated that she would call – she hasn’t. Today I found a place that sounded, well, not ideal, but the apartment was large (3 bedrooms) to be shared with just one person. It was a 15 minute walk from the hospital or a 6 min direct bus ride that has service all night long. All good things. Until my potential roommate wrote back, saying that she had a medical marijuana card and smokes in the apartment to wind down. Um no. I won’t comment on the pros and cons about medical marijuana, but as far as I’m concerned, smoking is smoking and I don’t want to live in a smoky/stinky apartment. So that’s another dead-end.

captainsblog‘s friend and my Laura G sent me an apartment listing for an apartment complex close to the hospital – just down the hill. I called – they won’t send me any information, pictures, anything because they don’t rent except in person.

I also emailed a bunch of women who were listed on a housing list to see if somebody wanted to be my roommate. I think I could do one roommate; any more than that would be too much potential for badness. So far, I’ve heard from 2, but they were really wanting to live in a different area than what I want. I’ll be exploring that more.

In other news. I refinanced my home. And can’t find a renter. I’ve shown it to 3 people now who have called my place “cute” and selected a different place. I’ve got somebody from my ward coming to look at it on Thursday, so all hope is not lost. But. I can’t really advertise on craigslist since my refinancing specifically states that I will reside there and I’m already stretching that definition.

Oh, and my “bored” studying sucks right now. And did I mention that my car is now stalling at stop signs and lights?
