Moving
July 03, 2005 ( life )
So, I've spent a lot of this quiet weekend working on getting things straightened out for my move out of Austin to DC. The unfortunate downside is that my job ends on the 27th and my lease on the 31st, and the haus will prolly be demolished ASAP afterwards[1].
This focuses my options, regardless, and there are a few variables in play:
DC Housing -- I currently have no place to live in DC. I have sufficient couch-surfing space there, and
DC Job -- I'm sending my resume out and in contact with some people I know in the area, but have no job lined up. Again, this isn't the end of the world, I've managed to save a decent chunk between my dot-com savings, my PC readjustment, and my Austin job to float if I need to. Realistically, I could go a semester, maybe two, with only a few contract jobs here and there, but my goal is to be able to repay a large chunk of my loans as soon as they start accruing interest.
Schedule -- I must start attending GWU functions on August 25th, (class starts onthe 31st) which means I'd like to be in town 1-2 weeks before that to get settled, buy books, get accustomed to my commute, neighborhood, see my DC peeps, potentially find housing and settle into a job.
I'm going to see if I can press on the guy to let me stay through the first week in August, but my first foray into this territory was responded to with "the extended stay on 6th is nice," so that's dubious. Before the flood arrives, I realize that there's many Austinites who could put up with me for a week or two, and I may in fact utilize that; I'm primarily pondering how to most optimally get my Stuff from Austin to DC (ideally, one move out here, one move in in DC).
Thoughts and inspirations welcomed.
[1] I actually got an eviction notice to move out on the 1st (...on the 1st), but maintained a cheerful polite attitude with the cheerful polite land developer, cheerfully and politely reminding him that I had not received my 30-day notice of cancellation on my lease, and therefor had the right to continue my lease through the end of the month, thank you.
