when did you stop thinking in semesters?
today i had some paperwork to sign for my apartment, so i went in to the property manager’s office to get ‘er done (yeah i just said that). he told me that lots of people are trying to get out of their leases right now, and that this is the worst time of the year to find new renters because the semester just started.
i live in a place with lots of single working people, but i rarely meet a student. do these working people stay in semester mode for a freakishly long time, or is my neighborhood crawling with students and i don’t realize it? maybe i’m distancing myself from them all in some subconscious effort to suppress painful college memories of the best friends i’ve ever had, my whole life ahead of me and the world at my feet…
anyhooha, it made me realize that i don’t even think in semesters anymore.
i guess i’m all grown up now.

I will always be in semester mode...but at least I have an excuse. I'm a teacher married to another teacher. We've never escaped the school mindset and probably never will.
been out of semester mode for like a zillion years.. you young chick you..
devri- young chick huh? hahaha
I think that since so many landlords and apartment complexes have students as their main source of tenants the whole city has adopted that mentality. Every place I have ever lived has been non-BYU approved housing (since grad students don't have to live in approved housing thank goodness) but the leases have all been on the semester system.
