real life

So other than reading Harry Potter and forcing carpenter to eat dubiously sticky gnocchi, the other thing I did yesterday was go back into my budget "spreadsheet" (it's a Kaleidagraph table, okay?) and do a more rigorous tracking of such things as "other checks in" and "other checks out" and income to savings separated from income to checking, and what it's looking like now is that I come out on just on the positive side in the hypothetical month if I just swap rooms (and rents) with my housemate.

Am very pleased by this finding; I think it would be very good for me to not have to be dealing with moving/a new place while also dealing with going back to school, and it is also just satisfying to not feel dumber than my budget.

i feel that i should jump in here to note that the gnocchi were not, in fact, remotely dubious. you are thinking of the indian food container lid, which was somewhat dubious, but which i did not have to eat. the gnocchi themselves were quite good. :>)

Hee! Kaleidagraph!

I'm assuming your current room is bigger than your housemate's, and that's why the bigger rent?

It's much easier to move to the next room than it is to move to another building, as I'm sure you know much better than I.

though even moving to another room can be an awful pain, especially if they happen to be on different floors, and if you happen to have quite a lot of stuff in your room. i seem to recall that it took me about 24 hours (pretty much straight) when i did it. of course, your pack-rattage may vary.
