Day 2: The Search for Apartments – Step 1

So I didn’t get a rental car yesterday and I thought it was the end of the world. I almost started crying because I was so tired of nothing happening for me, but for some reason I decided it was for the best. I mean I saved a lot of money without one and I will just pay $3.25 for an all day bus pass. Hey, the weather is nice so I don’t have to worry about being miserable because of cold weather.

When the complimentary van came to get me from the airport the driver and I talked and he decided to help me get a job and a place to stay. I would not have met him if I got a rental car, so I guess God worked everything out and turned a bad into a good once again.

It’s so many job opportunites out here and the gas in like 40 cent cheaper. Gas here is $2.99 a gallon for regular, but gas in Ohio is like $3.46 a gallon. I have to get my money together so I can move.

So far I’ve completed one application, but man, the rent is $698/month! The cheap apartments are located in Lakeland Florida, but Alex (the driver) claims that Lakeland is racists and I don’t want my children subjected to racism. I don’t teach them that and I won’t have them going through that, we’ve already been through enough.
