big day

so, i'm trying to move. i emailed a bunch of craigslist offers, had an appointment with The Apartment People and learned a lot about renting in Evanston from a wonderful woman named Melody, and visited an absolutely adorable and wonderful apartment on Main St. (which, despite the name, is not the main drag). And right this minute, I got turned down by one of the other offers - apparently I wasn't fast enough (wow, 2 hours means a lot - i wonder if the other apt is already gone, too ...)
anyway ... i'm nervous, but i really feel like i'm making the right decision. i haven't had a chance to talk to the roommate - he was home when i got in, but when i asked him about his weekend, he said, it was fun, except for the part where i broke up with my girlfriend ...
so i didn't feel as though it was the opportune moment to tell him i wanted to move out.
sometimes life is just awkward. but i still really feel confident in my effort to move - i'd like to live someplace where i want to walk outside my house at night, because there's somewhere cool to walk besides the train station, instead of having it be scary, and i'd like to live closer than 45 minutes' commute to work. it's not like i go downtown often anyway, so there's no point in living within the city.
okay, to bed, to bed - i have to be up at 5 to head to the prairie!
