NH does not have much in the way of public trans.

I've driven my car into school and now work for every day for over 5 years. I'll admit, it is starting to ware on me and I really want to live close enough to where ever I work in future so that I can walk or bike there in the summer.

But my point is that I've done it for 5 years and I could probably do it longer, it's not that bad.

So there's really no housing within biking distance of campus?

I mean, I wouldn't want to bike to class in the snow either, but I've done it.  And I'm sure your winters are worse than Flagstaff's, but we DID have a couple bad winters while I was there.

(Obligatory reminder of Arizona geography before someone asks: Flagstaff is located at 7000 feet and resembles Boulder more than Phoenix.)

NHTI on Google Maps

The nearest housing is within biking distance, but it passes through many high traffic intersections, shopping plazas, and highway exits, none of which have much in the way of nearby sidewalk.  Depending on conditions and temperature, it may not even work, but then, I guess that's what the car would be for.

Oh, and I don't have a bike anyway, but that's a comparatively small concern.

At any rate, I'm definitely going to do this program, if I get accepted.  I just have no idea how.

While I am wording this to sound as whiney as possible, I now have to pack my bags out of goddamned utopiaville in two weeks, leave to learn how to be badass, 20% more sneaky, and while that was expected I now have been tacked on with teaching my first boot camp this goddamned summer. 

At the same time, I planned to go to university in some other town this fall, and coming back to town on the 31st of August is going to make logistical planning a lot harder, considering that I was planning to buy my first car in this province sometime in August (where I live, there's just no need) plus do the moving bit sometime in the last week..

I also have to depend on a stoner roomate to pass on correspondence to my various PO boxes of where I will be living this summer, except that he doesn't know this because he just left this morning to go research the involvement of the Spanish Recolonization of the Pacific Northwest in the 17-1800's. 

I also have a lot of shit

And I need to find a sublet during the summer - FAST  :ohshi~:

If Ninja Camp provides worthwhile net access, then logistics can work out.

And hey, fresh meat. Could be rewarding to see your own League of Shadows shape up over the weeks.

Logistics may be a bit trickier than you think.  When coming home overseas once I can say I tried to find a place in a city using only the internets, and a car. 

Both proved to bomb out. 

I already have mechanics of method in place to make a plan B, as well as a go to hell plan.  They are still undesireable. 

I have looked forward to these prospects before, and once I kick the logistical hurdle in the shins, I will no doubt be able to enjoy how lucky I am. 

Also:  56k :facepalm:

My dog died.

I found out my mom has cancer.

I was in a pretty major car accident in which my car was totaled. Since I could only afford collision insurance, nothing was covered. I was able to get a new car, but literally spent all my savings and college monies on it so may not be taking classes for at least a year, and certainly wont be going away to college.

That sums up my last month or so.

I've vented.

No real luck to be had. Everything is done with, my mom I guess is dealing in her own way despite pleading otherwise. Other than that, if my life is patterned, I see another good 19 years down the road.

My roommate has a problem with me but she never really made it clear until an hour ago.

I use things. Around the apartment. Many of these things are hers. Some of these things she doesn't mind me using. Some of them she does.

She doesn't tell me which is which. Which leads to the problem of today.

In our living room, there is a television, a stereo, a VCR, a DVD player and a PS2. They're all connected in one way or another. In the past, I've used most of them with no comment from her, and indeed, she left instructions on how to work out the connections when I moved in. Recently, I purchased a memory card and Final Fantasy X-2 (note: I already had some PS2 and PS1 games in my collection, just no system or memcard. This is a fact that she knows). Last night, I played some Disgaea. Today, I saw the PS2 controller gone. I asked about it, and she hit me with this tirade about how I should have asked to use it! She also brought up stuff which had been resolved in the past along similar lines: using something once and getting told to ask, then either (a) asking, and using the thing ad nauseam, (b) buying my own, or (c) never using that thing again.

The thing is, she wasn't around when I used the PS2. That irked her even more, but what flabbergasted me was that I'd left it exactly the way I found it. Not to be sneaky or anything, but out of courtesy, you know, that whole "campsite rule." The fact that she knew gave me flashbacks to Misery.

Me, I don't mind if people use my stuff. If it's (a) outside my room and (b) not food, it's fair game. That not a problem. The problem is that I've used the television and DVD player and radio to no comment, but when I used the PS2, she had an issue with it.

There's a connection between this obsessive attitude of hers and the fact that she can't keep a steady boyfriend, but I'm not vindictive enough to hypothesize.

I will, however, say that it was terribly discourteous of her to look into a job offer for teaching in Korea that would require her to leave at the end of July, a fact I was informed of on Tuesday.

We told you buying X-2 would end poorly.
