Jen's decided to go to Chico rather than Long Beach, which means that our plans to move into an apartment together this Spring (or maybe fall) aren't going to happen.
Summer's unable to come up with rent for the loft apartment, so that idea is out.
All of my friends in the area are either out of the dorms and living in apartments with roommates, happily staying in the dorms, or financially unable to rent half an apartment, even for $425 a month including utilities.
I'm never going to be able to get out of the dorms.
