I visited a few buildings downtown and did a little research online this afternoon, but most of the places that are in my price range are terribly run down. In one building, I was sure I saw a woman shooting up through her open door from the hallway, and another building was festering with homeless like flies on a piece of discarded meat. I did find one apartment in an old mansion that looks pretty cozy. It's a bit out of my price range, but I'm going to try and see if I can fit it into my budget if I take another job on the weekend.

I've had visions of myself as a waiter at an upscale restaraunt, so I called around to see if any positions were available, but the entire city is staffed. Apparently, everyone has decided to quit their jobs and work as waiters. Considering the economy of late, I wouldn't doubt it.

In a few of the restaraunts, I actually felt a little embarassed asking for an application. Sheepishly, I remember saying that I'd never work another blue collar service job ever again, once I got my degree. I suppose I don't really need the money, but it would make things a lot more comfortable, and that's what I'm all about in the end. I'd simply like to be comfortable, not necessarily rich.
