Hello all,
I'm not sure whether my post is supposed to go on the psychosocial board or what, but here goes.
My life is currently a mess. I found a place to live and flew out on Friday the 11th. The woman I was going to share the house with (who is a renter herself) seemed really nice. Things seemed to be going all right, not perfect, but okay.
On Wednesday, I came home and said hello to C. C said hello back. I walked to my room and saw an envelope with my name on it, and I heard the car drive off. I opened up a letter which said, that C found me to be an unsuitable housemate and was giving me 30 days notice, but she would prorate the rent and hoped that I would try to move out sooner to minimize the number of nights I was there. I was extremely tired, because I'd been walking around town all day. The town is great for biking, but the distances are too great to walk. I had just found out, that a $1500 check deposited to my bank account had been returned, and my financial aid check wasn't processed yet.
I did ask her what was wrong and said that I wish she had said something was wrong. C said she wanted to avoid a confrontation, that talking to me was extremely difficult, that I was self-centred, spoiled and had no consideration for others. Apparently, I had woken her up in the mornings. She said I slammed the door 5 times.) So, I've been scrambling to find a place. The Sacramento area is growing really fast, and I'm in an affluent college town where there is a serious housing shortage. I did sign a lease today for a small one bedroom---I move into one apt. and switch within the same complex 3 weeks later. It was the last apartment available. The idiotic woman at financial aid had me classified as a CA resident and gave me CA financial aid despite repeated e-mails, in which she told me that I had received the basic package, until I showed up. So, I won't get a check until Friday at the earliest.
I'm running low on meds too. I had no money to buy my books--which are not on reserve, but I am relieved I found a place to move.
I'm alive, but things are crazy.
Abby

> I'm running low on meds too.Most drug companies will provide free meds under their compassion programs. Contact NAMI to get the list of where to contact them. I think the info is on the web...
Also, the school health center may be able to help you, free, as a student. I know that they were a lifesaver to me when I was in school, back when dirt was new!

Well, I guess that's the old "Good News/Bad News" routine, eh? ;-) I'm in Northern CA, too, though not as far north as you are. I assume I can name the school you're going to, and you'll settle in and love it there! (Or not, but let's think positively!) If there's anything I can do, being semi-close by, email me at the address above.
Good luck, and take care.

Abby, sorry to hear about the mess. Hang in there, hopefully it will settle down.
Good to hear from you.

Yeah, I know about the drug company programs. It's just that it's been so crazy I haven't had a chance to go to the student health center. I'm okay now. I borrowed some money from my father, found a place to live and a bike, moved into my own apartment and all that. I borrowed some money from my Dad (postal money order) but that tooka day or so, and I transferred some from another account, but I did want to say hello.
