Roommate Update

Well, it’s official – I have a roommate. I signed the lease on the previously mentioned house and I can move in whenever I get ready, though that probably won’t be until close to August.
 
The roommate is named Rebecca and is basically what I would expect from a girl perusing a PhD in adult education who is looking for a student to live with her. She’s 30 years old and seems a little eccentric – it’s hard to say a lot about her as we haven’t exactly interacted much as of yet. I realize I’m taking my chances living with an essentially random person, but at least I got to select one who is literate and reasonably intelligent. And, really, I have to be one of the easiest people in the world to live with, so I don’t expect there to be too many problems.
 
The only thing I don’t really like about the living situation is that I’m renting in a house that she owns so I feel a bit like we may not have equal rights to everything (though technically we should, being as I’m paying her $450 a month for exactly that). Still, the apartment is furnished with her stuff and I’m going to be a little uneasy about using everything at first – hopefully it’s something I grow accustomed to pretty quickly though.
 
Meanwhile, as a testament to what people really care about, every single person who I’ve announced to that I have a new female roommate has immediately asked the same question: Is she pretty? Something that’s completely irrelevant! Certainly completely irrelevant to me, as she’s 30 years old, 4 inches taller than me, and likely wants children sooner than later. Really, I expect more from you people.
 
And, yeah, she is.
