San Diego, CA hotels and extended stay saved my degree
By sparchi on May 20, 2009 in Education
When I was attending college at the University of San Diego, I decided to study the mating habits of a small, very rare insect that only lives in a few places in the world. One of those places was in the southern most river delta area of Little River, Tennessee.
Since I was going to need to be there for at least 4 complete life cycles of the insect, I decided that an extended stay hotel in Alcoa, TN would be the nicest place I could live during that 6 month period.
My time in Tennessee was relatively uneventful, other than the successful completion of my observations and the my beginning to write my thesis on the mating and life cycles of the bugs. It was when I returned home to San Diego that I was in for shock and excitement.
While I was away, the person whom I sublet my apartment to decided to have a little party. In my absence, and apparent amnesia on my landlord’s part, my sublet person was evicted. Since they were paying the rent directly to the owners, I never knew what had happened.
Imagine how shocked I was on my return! Fortunately, there are a great number of San Diego, CA hotels, with many in Mission Valley’s Hotel Circle. I was able to find another extended stay place, finish my degree program and never sublet an apartment again!

Oh my! What a surprise indeed. What a terrible way to come to that decision. But I’m glad you were able to successfully finish your degree.

It’s hard trusting other people to live in your place. If I can avoid it, I will.
It’s a good thing you were able to rescue your home and finish your degree all at the same time!
Congratulations!

Omigosh! I feel bad for you about the apartment. But at least you were able to finish your study and finish your degree!

The realities that greeted you in San Diego sure made up for your lack of events in Tennessee. Lol!
Hope you were able to get rid of the mess.

I sort of went through the same thing a couple months back. Had to stay at an extended hotel (which I am grateful for!) while my apartment had to undergo a major overhaul.
Glad things still worked out for you.
