It’s going to be a LONG year

Yeah…where to begin?

Let’s begin with the apartment. Well, turns out that that exterminator didn’t know what the hell they were doing, because when we began moving the big stuff in Saturday we went around the edges of the room with bug spray, and they came running out. One even nearly went into my brand new couch, but my aunt caught it. And then the next day of course there’s more, I even found a few in my room. Honestly, this apartment thing had me crying last night. I was just so sick of having to deal with all this shit, and so pissed that the stupid apartment complex showed such a nice apartment to me when I was looking only for me to be given this piece of crap. I can’t even open the door regularly. To unlock the screen door from the outside I need to push in first then turn the lock, and the regular door just doesn’t like opening without some force behind it. And yesterday, after my mom sprayed the cabinets (is that the right word? For some reason I feel like it isn’t) and wiped all the bugs that were in there, she laid down some shelf lining and put the little bit of food I got in them. Then she told me to wash the dishes and such so they could be put away. I attempted to start with my silverware. Well, I didn’t even get through that, before the entire faucet came flying off and water went everywhere. My mom screwed it back on, but it came off again. So I ended up doing the silverware in the kitchen sink, and I had to do each individually because I don’t have a stopper for it. Today, although I was just going to wait until tomorrow because I was so tired, I went to the office and told them all of this. I mainly decided to do it today because I made my pot pie, was going into the extra storage closet to get a plate and I see a roach on the wall. Killed that sucker, then grabbed my keys and went up to the office, even missing the beginning of The Office and holding off on eating to do so. I guess tomorrow they’ll come fix the faucet when I’m at school, and she said she’d call an exterminator, although I don’t know when. She kept asking if it was ants, and I kept telling her no. If it was ants I could take care of them, there have been issues with ants a few times at home, they’re pretty easy to get rid of. And I have to go back in tomorrow, although I think they’ll be closed by time I get back from class, to pick up new keys, because my mailbox key won’t work and my other key won’t open up the laundry room.

I moved into my apartment today, and right when I moved in I was having second thoughts about choosing the apartments I did. I open the door and the first thing that gets me is that there’s carpet. The model apartment they showed me had wood flooring, and that was one of the things I really liked about the apartments. But no, I got carpet. And there’s a huge spot on the carpet, I have no clue what it is. I’ll just have to report it so they can’t pin it on me and cover it with furniture. Also when I went in there were a bunch of bugs on the carpet in the living room and on the kitchen floor. They were all dead, because there was a notice that an exterminator had come a couple weeks before to kill any bugs that were there, but they never bothered to clean them up. So we swept up the ones in the kitchen and will have to vacuum the ones in the living room up next time. None in the cupboards, I checked them, or in the drawers. And I didn’t see any living ones. And my apartment already has a security door installed, so that’s extra protection and when it’s cool I can open it and enjoy the nice weather. For right now I’ll just have to see how things go when I move in there next weekend for the school year. It might not be as bad an it initially seems.
