I intended to get up earlier this morning but since I stayed up so late I slept in a little bit. I got up a little before 8 and hit the road by 9:00. I got into SA around 4:45 and checked into my hotel. I then went through my rental housing list and made a plan for doing some drive bys. I checked out several properties in the NE area and found 2 or 3 that were acceptable. Problem with the NE area is that it would be a bit of a drive to school every day assuming I get the middle school position. I have an interview at the middle school tomorrow afternoon so we’ll see how that goes. After checking out the NE area, I was really starving. I hadn’t eaten anything since stopping at Burger King for breakfast this morning. So I headed south and stopped at Whataburger. I then checked out some places centrally located in SA and ruled those out immediately. I then found the middle school and checked a few more places. One I didn’t even turn down the street because I was already scared driving down another street to get to it. It had gang writing all over the place and was very scary.
I did find a place closer to school than the NE areas that I really liked. The community is new and very nice and clean. I’ve emailed a request for a showing, but will call tomorrow as well and see if I can get in. It looks like it is empty. I have a few more to check out tomorrow as well. I also have to open a bank account. I cleared out my savings and have a cashier’s check to deposit so that if/when I do choose a place to live, I can make all the deposits and such.
It’s hard to believe that I will be calling this place home in just a few weeks. It’s all happening really fast. I don’t know how I’ll get it all done, but I’m sure I will somehow. It’s late and I should get to bed. It’s going to be a busy day tomorrow.
