Krap.

I just found out that if I stay in this apartment for another year, my rent will go up $100. (That's an almost 12% hike.) I guess that's what happens though, when you live in a sublet. I really like where I live, and I'm really settled in here. I finally feel like I have all the right furniture and decor. It probably wouldn't make sense to get a new apartment just because my rent's going up here, since I'd probably end up paying that extra $1200 in realtor and moving fees anyway. If I did move, it would probably make more sense to have roommates, so I'd be paying less. But I know I wouldn't want to live with strangers. Right now I'm thinking I'll probably stay here. It's weird though. Oh well, at least I have some time to think about this - it's 4 months till the end of my lease. (Which of course runs out while I'll be in the UK, so I'd have to move out before then if I did.) Argh. These are the times when being an adult kinda sucks.
