So right now I'm in Lafayette, Louisiana, sitting in a Starbucks and using a free wireless internet day pass from TMobile (what an easy-to-use service! only took my ass like 20 minutes to get up and running...thanks, a-holes).

Anyway, it's a 7-hour trip from Dallas to Lafayette. Fun. So I was pretty exhausted last night. I'm staying in a Motel 6...last time I stayed in a Red Roof Inn and it sucked ass, so this time I went with another discount motel chain. Is it better? More consistent?

Hmm...there were no towels in my room. Easy enough to correct. But at approximately 4 o'clock this morning, I heard the following being screamed outside (and I think upstairs) from my room:

(in what I think was a gravelly woman's voice)
Let me in the fucking room!
Let me in the fucking room!
(banging on door)
Let me in the fucking room!
I'll make you lose this room, asshole!
Let me in the fucking room!
Just let me in the fucking room!

This continued for what seemed like an eternity, but was in fact about 10 minutes. Ah the charm of simple country folk!

Anyway, pickings for apartments are slim. I've only actually looked at one today...most complexes are full up. But the one I looked at was pretty nice, so I'll probably go with it. Hopefully my neighbors there won't screech me awake at 4 in the morning.

And tomorrow I'm headed down to campus to register for classes for the fall. I'll probably head back to Dallas Thursday morning.
