Well, it's been nearly four months since I've written a blog on here.

~sahneh and I have been struggling to find an apartment for the upcoming year. We think we finally have... though the last time we were "sure" we had a place, the landlord disappeared on us. However, ~sahneh has spoken with the owner of the property a couple of times now, so I think we're pretty set. Just have to fork over the money next week and sign the lease.

I'm rather excited about this apartment. It will just be ~sahneh and me, so we won't have to worry about bitchy roommates making life difficult. They're going to paint the place in the next couple of weeks and we'll move in on May 15th. If Linus proves able to not destroy the carpet (which is a disgusting light blue shag), the owner may also have the carpet replaced. It's two bedrooms, with a reasonable sized bathroom and living room, and a large kitchen. The bathroom has washer/dryer hookups... so, fuck yeah, I'm getting a washer and dryer. No more laundromats for me! And the kitchen looks great. Quite a bit of counter space, new fridge and stove, plenty of room for a table, and lots of sunlight.

On the other hand, my search for an apartment is not over yet. I secured an internship in a town about 3.5 hours from where I go to school, but I have yet to arrange for a place to live. The company I'll be working for was supposed to provide me housing information, but I have yet to receive that.

The dog is doing well. He's been a bit calmer since we retrieved him from the kennel in January. We've also visited ~sahneh's parents, and Linus did well with ~sahneh's family (he especially loves ~sahneh's dad, who is not all that fond of pets).

My finals week is next week, and both of the classes I have final exams in are on the same day. And then I have a 10 page paper due the next day. And then the day after that, I have a group project due. I am fairly confident about one of my exams, far from confident about the other, and worried about the 10 page paper. I honestly have no idea what's going on with the group project right now.

~sahneh finally introduced me to a computer game that I can barely stay away from: Morrowind. We've had a little trouble sharing my laptop, for me wanting to play Morrowind and him wanting to play Oblivion (my laptop struggles with Oblivion).

Um... that's about it.

Thanks again to $coolhand2 and $rauburger for putting up with my C++ questions.
