The interview was in Atlanta. As I was driving over there I realized that every interview I went to would cost me $30 in gas. That's pretty steep. With this realization I really began to think about the physical costs associated with staying in Athens. Until we get someone to sublet the apartment we are obligated to continue paying rent. If we move, though, we will have zero utility costs. That's about $300 a month. Also, Matt will not have to commute between here and Atlanta saving a TON in gas. And finally, Matt will return to work full-time which will bring in additional income. As I'm sure you can see we are talking about hundreds of dollars every month.
When we move back... it will be into my mom's house. This doesn't SOUND appealing but it's honestly not that bad. We will have almost the entire second floor. One bedroom will be used as a living room. Compared to our current apartment... we will have essentially the same amount of room. The only real difference is that the kitchen will obviously be shared. Living rent-free has a LOT of obvious perks. Once I get a job... Matt and I will be able to save a LOT of money every month.
That is my thought anyway.... it's a good thing I have such awesome parents.
Anyway, so we decided to go ahead and move out this Thursday. I have a lot of packing to do which, as you can tell, I am presently avoiding.
The worst thing about moving back? Leaving Jenny in Athens. She is my best friend... and I'm REALLY going to miss her. I think she will come back after her lease is up, though.
Anyway... lots of changes. More to follow.
