Apartment: If nothing else, we will be in a new apartment by Sept 15. We applied to a decent place and were approved yesterday. We're still waiting on answers from a few others and visiting a few more this week but if NOTHING else comes through, we're at least content with this place. It got awful ratings on apartmentratings.com which concerns me... but Jason says (and I agree with him) that you have to take at least some of those complaints with a grain of salt. People will find complaints about any place, however nice. I would just love for that approval percent to be much higher than it is (18%)... I don't want to be surprised by roaches or huge utility bills just when I think I've finally gotten away from any apartment grievances.
CPT: Jason and I crunched some numbers yesterday in terms of scheduling. Seems as though we really don't have all that much time to study for this thing haha. Sigh. We're going to schedule our test for either Jan 4 or Jan 11 which means we have to be plugging through the chapters of these books way faster than we thought. 6 months apparently is not a lot of time. Whew knew!?
So these two large time-sucks have made me realize that I have to be more selective about the way in which I choose to spend my time post work/Aikido. After the centaur completion, I have to be way more selective about what kinds of freelance work I choose to commit to. I don't want to get burnt out doing things that I actually want to do.
So my new motto is one-goal-at-a-time. Even if it's on a smaller scale, as in, one goal per day or one goal during lunch, thinking about too many things at one time is getting me no where.
Also, GO OLYMPICS!!

I would take all of apartmentratings.com with a huge grain of salt! I know so many people with good apartments that got insanely bad ratings and weird complaints on that site, and I totally don't trust it anymore. Good luck!!
That makes me feel a lot better. I also talked to someone from Craigslist who was trying to get out of her lease at that place early about the reviews on Craigslist and said the same thing. She never experienced any of those problems in the 2-something years she's been there. It's just so scary to see!
