I compared my tiny size 5 feet to Amy's equally tiny feet, only this time my feet were ginormous as if they had Elephantitis. 6 hours of apartment hunting in Berkeley yesterday felt like 6 hours on the Stairmaster. At least I'm getting killer calves from all this walking.

I'm so excited to move to Berkeley, but its so expensive to live there ... I feel like getting into Berkeley for optometry school is easier than securing an affordable apartment at a decent location. My rent is gonna be ridiculous, even with a housemate. No car because parking and car insurance costs too much. Lucky for me I got more student loans and that lofty grad scholarship, so I won't be dirt poor. Food is cheap, so people better visit me! I'll scare the homeless ppl away for you. :)

I'm gonna go apartment hunting again with my classmate Chris this Monday. Wish me luck.
