Moving On!

So my crappy clinic experience is continuing. I have been trying since last Friday to get the doctor on the phone so that she can prescribe me some form of the pill (hopefully one that won't make me weepy, fat or get a blood clot) or maybe the ring. I figured I would ask her. But, I have only managed to talk to the idiot receptionist, who I don't think believes that I am actually her patient because I saw her at the other clinic. He was also too lazy to actually check whether she was working on Friday or just not answering the phone. I went down there to see if I could see her and she doesn't even work that day of the week. I called yesterday, and today, without any response. On Monday he actually put me on hold for 20 minutes, but picked up after I hung up and called back. I yelled at him today, which I never do. I'm really really pissed. He doesn't know what my prescription is for. What if it were for a heart condition or something and I could die without it being renewed? So mad.

In good news, I managed to find a place to live that will let me have a cat. It is in a house in downtown San Jose with two students. I only met one of them and he seemed very nice. Appartently the other one is never there anyway. It would be better if it were on the other side of the university, but on the other hand, it is very cheap. I also don't have to pay a deposit and it is month to month. I'm excited. I'm looking forward to living in an urban area again, even if it is San Jose (poor San Jose--despite it's reputation, it actually has a pretty nice downtown. It will always be compared to San Francisco, and there is no way it could ever, ever, ever compete. It is just an entirely different kind of city). I went and bought bedding and towels today, since I left all of mine in Montreal when I moved back to California. I am going to start moving in on Saterday.

Also, Paddy is back from his trip to New York and Ireland, so I have another reason to be happy too. Maybe stuff isn't so bad, despite that damn clinic.
