housing and a job all in five days.... ready set- Go!

so here is an update on my life.

-I need to move out of my current room NLT JUly 31st- this coming Saturday.
-I have found a really cute townhouse- for a very inexpensive price ($375 + utilities)- but I am finding that I do not have the time left to fill it/sign the paperwork/move in. I worked really hard on this- arranging people- talking to the owners a lot- and even picking up the key to show it to friends. but I just don't have the people to fill it.
- i looked at a place today. It is nice- but there is no laundry OR a kitchen. but utilities are included for $500.
- I looked at apartments on Friday with Stacy- but don't think I'm qualified to live in a complex because i am in between jobs
- I also called someone about a room- but the only time they have available for me to see it is Thursday- cutting it real close. :)
- I am going to call two leads tomorrow & talk to Sarah C. about possibilities and living with her, but it might just be easier for me to find a place on my own from the roommate wanted list from Regent- I only have four/five days. and these people already have places they just need people to fill them.
- I have a job interview tomorrow... and Wednesday. the thing is- the one Wednesday is a group interview then they make their selections within 24 hours. I am not sure the number of hours or the pay for the Wednesday job- but I think that I would like it better.... but i think the thing tomorrow is a pretty certain thing. Do I tell the people on Tuesday that I need 48 hours to make a decision- will they hold the job for me?
- I'm not too motivated to pack up yet... but I need to start that, too. :)


So this week A place to live is a mUSt... and I think that I will be getting a job, too. :) but the job thing isn't as worrisome as the housing thing. Do I wait for the townhouse and my friends to work it out/make a decision? Do I go for the room in the above the garage apartment with no kitchen- just cuz I could easily move in any day this week? Do I call a couple leads I have and go looking at more places? Do I tell Sarah c. that I will live with her and have to research? Lord- there are so many ways to turn... I pray that my path will be directed in a single direction and that all the options will fade away to the best and easiest (and cheapest) choice.

I will be praying for you. I hate having all those decisions and wanting to do what God wants, but just not knowing what that is.

Wow, that's a lot to consider. Would it be possible to sign up for the first place that does month to month and you could always (if you really had to) leave your stuff in boxes and move in a month. Or is everyplace a year commitment? Also, I'd vote for the place that has a kitchen b/c think how much you could save eating at home and having a fridge/oven of your own. I know that would save you prob hundred+ /month! I will pray hard b/c I know this must be stressful not knowing what is gonna come first. Just don't commit to housing that makes you put any $ down. The least strings attached the better as you need flexibility in this time of your life! Love you- when you coming to visit? if you find yourself homeless, just come live with us!
