So this is what it feels like?

In the course of 45 minutes, my bank account dropped $725 dollars. Word. Now to be fair, my roommate is going to pay half of that back to me, but he has to get the money first.

Now before you start to think I just go around dropping large amounts of cash for kicks, let me explain. We saw the apartment today, and promptly dropped the $500 for the deposit, but since we won't be moving in till Sept. 1st that leaves the apartment all alone for a month, and the landlord had somebody else who wanted to move in within a week if we didn't take the place, so she "suggested" that we pay her half a months rent for the month of August. It's really not that bad, considering we can start moving things in as soon as they finish painting the place.

So yup, we got a new place, and more bills... so this is the real world...
