moving right along

Still in the states, as I'm sure many of you are aware of. However, I do have:
all of my paperwork from the dept. of labor
a visa
a translation of my birth certificate
and funds.

all I need now is a place to live. Which seems ridiculous, because I have been focusing most of my time on finding a home. I've contacted several people looking for roommates, and had someone who agreed to send me pictures of the apartment, but has yet to do that. Quite frustrating. I have also contacted the heads of my department at the school for help, but since they are on holiday, they are not responding. Yehaw.

All in all, I'm excited. I have a list of the other assistants in the area, and some information on transportation. I figure worse comes to worse, I just live in a hostel for a bit.
