Accounting and apartments

So I dropped my accounting class yesterday. I've gone to most every class, paid attention, done my homework, studied, and I was STILL doing completely awful in that class. It was incredibly frustrating for me, because I'm not used to doing badly in classes--even ones I hardly study for! I don't know what it is, but I just can't grasp the material I guess. I felt an incredible weight lifted off of my shoulders after dropping the class, though. I had been stressing about this class since early February probably, and the knowledge that I no longer had to worry about it is just so relaxing.  Also I get to sleep in more on Mondays and Fridays, which is always a plus.

On the brighter side of this weekend, my roommate and I signed our leases for apartments next year! It seemed like such an adult thing to do, it kind of scared me. I was mostly excited though; living in these dorms is no picnic. Since the other two girls we thought we would most likely share our apartment with kind of backed out, we had to end up letting them pick random roommates for us, so fingers crossed that we don't get any crazies. Anyway, we went on the tour of the apartments and signed a million papers and it was done! It felt so weird doing something so huge without my parents being there to say "Yes, this is what you do..." Even though I'm nineteen years old, I still feel like I need my parents' approval for these sorts of things. My roommate and I are completely excited to decorate our apartment and actually have our own rooms, because even though we get along great, sharing this teeny tiny dorm room just isn't a good situation for anyone no matter how good of friends you are.

  1. I know what you mean with the parent thing. I still call my dad whenever something breaks and ask him how I should communicate my problems to the plumber or maintenance.

  2. I wouldn't worry too much about the apartment thing. Many people our age are going through the same thing and would probably be happy to give you advice/help you out.
