It's Sunday Morning and realized I missed another blog yesterday. Once again I will double up and hope that it makes a difference. I realized it at 1am after I was packing it in for the day. But 1am was Sunday not Saturday. I needed to go to sleep and couldn't even attempt to sit in front of my laptop because my eyes were heavy and my mind was blank. After my Algebra class yesterday, I came home and realized that my printer ink was dry. So I ran to the library only to be kicked off the computer before I was able to retype my final attempt at my essay. I ran to my friends house to use her computer/printer where we also had ink issues ha-ha. I was able to print it. But not completely happy with the result. The day just flew by so quickly.
I found out yesterday that FAIRFIELD PROPERTIES purchased the apartment and property that I live on. So many people are being forced to move by next month because they are on a month to month lease and their rent is being raised astronomically. One particular woman now pays $1,500 for a three bedroom and they raised the rent to $2,800. She of course has to move herself and her children. What single parent could afford that kind of rent? I am very worried that our rent will be raised and we will not be able to afford it. But, I am staying hopeful that it will be minimal and we could stay for at least another year or two. I left a job in Manhattan and took a very large pay cut in order to be able to go to College. Times like these I regret my decision, but I know it was for the best. I could not possibly make it to class because the trains are not at all dependable.
Fairfield is taking over Long Island in a big way. It's becoming a monopoly. They own practically every apartment complex now. I went online to do comparisons on the rents in different towns. This way I could get an idea of what the rate is around here, which is East Islip. It's pretty high. So I think we may have to move but like I said, I'm hopeful it won't be that bad. To move now would be a huge stress factor, economically and mentally. I need to feel at peace and settled to be able to study and remember every single detail of each assignment and what each professor expects of me. If only there were 8 more hours in a day. There never seems to be enough time. Well, it's time to get ready for English class
