OK, so, basically, before my Trek I went onto CraigsList and started looking for places. This one guy (We'll call him 'Duke' because it's the kindest name I can think for him right now) was renting out a room in his house for a reasonable rate. I jumped on it, we talked a little bit through emails and phone messages (I never actually talked to him on the phone, which bothered me a little, mostly because it meant he was never returning my calls).
But when I got here to Monterey and tried to meet up with him to, you know, pay my rent and move in, he said he was busy and I should call back. So I did. Two or three times that afternoon. And then once more after dropping Gene and Anastasiya off at the airport. I never heard from him again.
I was lucky, though, that I have friends in the area, and Laurel let me sleep on her couch for a few days. The very next day I got up early and blitzed CraigsList again, calling some half-dozen or so people. I got a few call backs, and finally ended up getting a room here on Via Del Rey. It's a large house holding 5 or 6 of us 20-somethings, with utilities, internet, vague maid service, and most household necessities (like toilet paper) included. It's about 2 miles away from school, about half of which is downhill (which means coming home it's half uphill). I plan on taking advantage of this and riding my bike 4+ miles a day. Unfortunately, it's been cold during twilight hours and I've just been driving Bel in, but I will get better as the weather warms up. Really. No, really.
