Finally Found a Place

I went to Chapel Hill again yesterday and finally found a place to live.

I saw two places. One was in Carboro, a little town next to Chapel Hill. Actually at this point they seem to have grown together, so it's hard to tell where one starts and the other ends. At any rate, my housemates there would have been two artists who didn't seem to be on such great financial footing. It was a pretty small place, a typical rental (read: dump), but would have been fairly convenient to campus. I'm turning it down.

The place I decided to move is a large and nice suburban house. Chris, one of the housemates, seemed very cool and is starting a job as a high school teacher. Patrick, who I haven't met in person, is in grad school in environmental engineering, I think. It's just inside Durham County, not as convenient as the other house to campus, but there's a park-and-ride for the campus bus not far away.

On the trip I paid $2.39.9 for gas, the highest I've ever paid by about 10 cents.
