It's really happening. There is a signed document stating that I will be living in Iowa City in the fall. Yes, I signed my lease and put it in the mail so it can make its way back. My half of the rent is a little more than I'm paying here, but with the cheaper electricity (due to splitting the bill with someone else) it's about even. Then add that cable's included there, and it's cheaper. Plus, I looked on the website of the company I rent from now, and they're increasing the rent on my apartment--up $10 a month, making it only 5 cheaper than the Iowa City place.
Now let's look at some of the rules that I can remember--I read my new lease 4 days ago, so I don't remember it all.
- No more than 15 people in the apartment at one time--so maybe 2 futons, a couch (although my new roommate's current roommate is demanding the couch) and a recliner are cutting it close on how much furniture we should have
- We can't cook anything or do anything else that would make an obnoxious smell in the hallway
- We can't make noise that would disrupt others' living--so anything goes, really
- No kegs in the apartment--sorry people, the parties will have to be somewhere else
Anyway, tonight's the beginning of the retreat, and I've still got to pack and do a Perspectives assignment. This is going to be a good God-centered weekend--Salt retreat, Perspectives, Iowa City connection group. I'll have free time around Monday or so.
