I didn't realize that it would be so difficult to apply for housing at IADT for next semester. It's hard! The forms are a bit confusing, and I need some sort of a guarantor to sign the lease. I have no idea what a guarantor is or how I'd find one to help sign the lease. (Assuming I figure all of this out and actually become able to live in Tampa so I can attend IADT in October.) I'm so glad I've got a few months to work with, but I definitely want it done and taken care of ASAP. I don't like fearing being homeless. My dad's at work today, but if he's not working overtime tomorrow I'm hoping he may be of some help in all these matters. My daddy's smart like that! It comes in handy, you know.

I need to call IADT in the morning on Monday, too. The financial aid stuff I'm supposed to be returning didn't get here until like the 18th or 19th of last week, yet the deadline for returning it was the 17th. (Yes, I should have opened the packets when I first received them, but I didn't have the availability to until this afternoon. Long story.) Ugh. Financial stuff is just as confusing, if not more so than the housing application. Again, my dad is going to be sought after for help in that area. You know...it'd really be helpful if I knew of anybody else who could possibly help with this sort of thing. Then I could just call that person and get it done, without having to wait for my dad to be off work and finished (or semi-finished) with his varying chores around the house and whatnot.

Speaking of the housing application...anyone want to suggest whether or not I should request a roommate of a differing major? Or should I stick with one in the same? I can see the advantages and disadvantages to both options, but I really don't know. I could go either way and I thought maybe some of you could suggest which way to go?
