Man, I'm always staring at my phone hoping for some telepathic brainwaves to hit my friends and say "hey! This girl needs a text right now" haha but that very rarely ever happens. Normally I just give in and start bothering them through text. I usually text a bunch of people since most of them will probably be busy but at least a few responses will keep me entertained for a while. In my case, I just know a lot of people are really forgetful about others when they don't see me on the day to day basis. So I just figure I would send a... helpful reminder :P If I'm annoying they just won't respond until way later so that's fine.

As for the job thing, good luck! I hope you get it It sounds like a great fit! Also, I don't know but there is always an option of subleasing your apartment out in the case that you decide to renew and get the job. It may not be the best option but it definitely is one!

And I totally understand you with my parents. After a major depressive episode now they just... are farrrr too involved. I'm working on the arms length thing too hahaha.

Best of luck! Keep us posted
