I am sitting here watching CNN cover the House vote on the healthcare legislation. Since they are dragging this out longer than the season finale of American Idol (is that possible??) I decided to take a few minutes and give an update on the goings-on with internship.
The two girls I know from DC that are going to Miami and I have decided to live together next year. The girl's names are Cat and Jessica. I know both of them but they didn't know each other so we had dinner a few weeks ago and the girls got to meet. Dinner went well, and we all seem to be on the same page in regards to living in Miami. We have decided to live as close to the beach as possible, and are looking in the Miami Beach area for a townhouse or condo. Amazingly, you can rent a place on Miami Beach for the same amount you can rent an apartment in Arlington, Virginia!
Initially we had planned on flying down to Miami at the beginning of May to look at housing. However, Cat called to check out a place we had seen online and the realtor told us that we shouldn't start looking until late June/early July. I guess we are used to getting college campus housing, where you have to have something locked up by May or you might not get anything. Anyway, Cat found out that the realtor is paid by the properties she rents out so we can use her services at no cost to us. I'm actually really excited about that because none of us really have any idea about renting in Miami. We told her our criteria and she said we would have no problem getting a place for us. We're still going to go down in early July to look at things before we commit though.
The best news? Both girls are okay with the kittens coming to live with us! I'm sure they will LOVE the Miami humidity :)
