I never imagined finding a new place to live near St. Luke’s would be a nightmare. I will be officially semi-homeless in the next few weeks. “Semi” because I’m not exactly homeless since I’ll be moving in with a couple of classmates in a 1-bedroom apartment near the school but of course, I’m still keeping my options open and my fingers crossed in hopes of getting a unit or at least a room all for myself. But you know, with the way things are going for me, it’s a lot easier to get an online auto insurance than a room for rent that fits my budget. Rental prices are soaring the nearer you are at St. Luke’s. The cheapest studio-type room that I’ve come across with is ten thousand pesos and there’s no way my parents are paying that amount for me. Oh well. I still have more than a week before I finalize Plan A and I’m still hoping against hopes that I’ll get the perfect place for me. I just wish fate agrees with me.
