thanks for your support. i feel a bit bad now... it is of course possible that i am underestimating her significantly because i am scared.
i got scared about the social worker... but she actually came through for me. i got scared about the doc and he did the same with his report... so... we will see...
i don't think we are a good fit. but it is possible there is some kind of reason behind her action...
based on past experience with psychology in this country... i wouldn't count on it, though.
i went and had a look at where i'm meant to be moving to, today. so i have a mental image. it is... a dump. from the outside... there is a wall of one way glass (which is actually cool, because i'm paranoid about two way glass, and it is nice to have more light in). the view is totally uninspired. street. cars. car parking buildings. diffuse light (and it was a sunny day today). big *ss hill.
it is just one block back from uni but damn if that block isn't down a big *ss hill. there is another building back on the uni street (where they have the apartment style options). apparently there is some kind of internal accessway... i couldn't see it, though.
so it is basically down a dark valley. there is a big *ss bar on the corner advertising (actually) cheap meals and drinks. i ate there once on conference, actually, and their breakfast was actually quite good, i thought. grungy. no chain stores. i guess... grad students are likely to take the studios since scholarship makes them affordable but they are just out of the price range of most undergrads...
fingers crossed... the last place i lived it was politic to complain about what a dive it was... and i suppose in many ways it was... but it was my home. i think... this will suit me. i'll complain, of course. but i think this could work. i would rather have that part of town then the macdonalds etc of the main street... i'm a bit sad to be off the ridge... but the price of the ridge is a teeny tiny little room with shared kitchen and bathroom and no guarantees of a view anyway so...
i think it will suit me quite well.
:)
fingers crossed.
