Busy again
Sorry for the lack of updates; I've been working on my website almost nonstop for the past several days, and when I haven't been working on my website I've been working on the apartment hunt.
I'm currently uploading my website, and after I'm done with that, it's all a matter of testing it to make sure everything works okay, changing the links from my old website, and adding a few extra things (like a 404 error page--I've always wanted to make my own).
The apartment hunt has gone pretty well so far; I browsed VCU's off-campus housing website and found at least fifteen listings right off. I printed them all out and sorted through them, and I easily narrowed the group to my top six listings based on what I need in an apartment. I also called VCU's off-campus student services today because I wasn't sure if the apartments were in good neighborhoods, but the man I talked to said that they were all safe places. All that's left with that is to figure out which one is right for me and.
To be honest though, things are starting to pile up on me again. I haven't received my information packet yet, and I need it in order to do anything else because it contains my VCU ID number. I have to submit my response form to tell them that I do plan to attend VCU, I have to request my final transcripts, I have to take a math placement test (even though I already took Calculus >>), I have to get immunization records, and I have to register for orientation next week, and in order to do any of those things I need either my ID number or that information packet.
To add to the stress, the only orientation dates that are offered to students in the School of the Arts are June 23 and July 7, and I really want to do the June 23 orientation because it's better for my mom's schedule and because I want to look at apartments the next day. A few of my listings state that their apartments go very quickly, and I don't want to be stuck picking through the leftovers after all of the good apartments are taken.
I'm planning to call VCU tomorrow to see if they can give me my VCU ID number over the phone so that I can register for orientation and start calling the apartment owners to see if I can make an appointment to look at their apartments next Tuesday. Hopefully everything will go well. If not, I might be stuck ruining my mom's next big weekend trip. :\
