上周六搬进来，折腾了一个星期，总算差不多把家具搞定了，从刚进来时的家徒四壁，到现在小有家的感觉，还是很有成就感的。
以下是流水账：
两周前看房签了合同，交了押金和第一个月的房租。
上周二打电话给PG&E开通水电煤。
上周四打包完毕。
上周六早上在朋友的帮助下搬到了新家，下去便去ikea采购了家具：床，沙发，电视柜，咖啡桌，写字台，五斗橱和落地灯等，共花费近1200元。
上周日收到家具，在朋友的帮助下基本拼装完毕。
这周一打电话给ATT申请网络。
这周二ATT工程师上门调试并开通网络。
这是刚搬进来时的样子

刚搬进来的样子

虽然美国经济还是很不景气，但是三藩的房市就像是打了鸡血，一旦有房子空出来，只要地段不算差，立马就会遭到疯抢。我去年去看过几次房，每次都有至少三四拨人一起看，而且房价涨的特别厉害，在城里已经基本上看不到1500以下的一房一厅了。
正巧前几天在craigslist上看到outer sunset有一个appartment要出租，于是约了中介去看了一下房子。房子位于48th Ave，算是比较远了（离beach就一个block），但是有N train可以到市中心，价格也还好，$1500一个月，还带一个车位。虽然房子小了一点，但是考虑到现在房子的抢手程度，我还是填了申请表。出乎意料的是，过了一天，中介就打电话告诉我，房东在看了5份申请表以后，最终选择了我。我想可能因为我是单身，而且我附上的银行存款证明比较多，可以证明我的财力吧。今天去中介处签了个合同，下周末就可以搬家了。。
这里附上房子的房型图，我大概画了一下，摆放了一下家具，感觉有点挤，不过一个人住，也无所谓大小了。
接下来就是家具的采购了，床，席梦思，写字台，椅子，沙发，电视机，微波炉等等，又是不小的一笔开销。。。：（

Just got off a phone call from Ms. Kimberly Wong from Victim Services Division. She will be my advocate on the robbery case that happened on the night of 8/9, and will provide support, resurces and updates on this case. I was told that I need to present in court on 8/27 for hearing. This is gonna be my first ever court appearance and I guess it’s gonna be exciting! Prior to the hearing, a representative from the public defender will call me and that I am NOT obligated to answer any questions or to describe what had happened on that night, because all that I say will be used as evidence to defend for the defendant. The division has also designate an attorney for me and she will reach out to me later.
Also, it turned out that the package I received yesterday was sent by Kimberly’s colleague and that she will send the same package to me again and that she wanted me to use the forms that she sends to me. I was also told that I do not have to collect all the receipts and mail back within 15 days upon receiving the package. Instead, after I have received the medical bill, I need to go through my health insurance first and see how much they’re gonna pay. For every penny that I’ll have to pay out of my pocket (deductable or in case my insurance refuses to pay the whole bill), I’ll have the right to sue the defendant for compensation.
I already had a discussion about this with Chuck last night, and our conclusion was that for a black girl desperate like this, she might already be in a huge debt and it is almost impossible to expect for her to pay the thousand-dollar bill in full. I might have to pay the bill first and she will probably pay me 100 bucks a months and it’s gonna be years untill I get all my money back… WTF!!!

今天收到Victim Services Division的来信，寄来表格说是可以向犯罪嫌疑人索赔医疗费，误工费和财产损失费等等。。不过我的医疗费貌似是保险公司出的，不知道什么时候医院会给我寄帐单。

今天，我的人生总算完整了：手机被抢，坐了警车，指认了犯罪嫌疑人，去了警局录了口供，最后还去医院缝了六针。。。
事情是这样的，昨晚下班，我和往常的周五一样，来到我家不远的kfc，点了个套餐吃，一边吃一边和朋友发短息聊天。吃着吃着，有个黑妞走过来问我现在几点了，还没等我反应过来，她一把抓起我的手机就往外跑。。。我一下子惊呆了，连忙起身追了出去，在出门的时候，她的两个朋友中的一个挤了我我一下，导致我失去重心，把大腿给拉伤了，不过我还是继续追了出去，因为大腿拉伤，所以最后不小心自己摔倒，磕破了下巴。。。眼看女贼已经跑远，我准备放弃，回到Kfc。。我这才想起来我的电脑包还在哪里呢。。。走回去的时候，我看到了女贼的两个同伙，于是我上前揪住其中一个，但是她还在装傻，不停地说你是谁我不认识你，我也不认识那个女人。我原本想把她揪回kfc然后报警，但是这时候我看到马路对面有个黑人男性准备过马路朝我们跑来。。我一下子不清楚状况，怕是她们的同伙，就放开了她，自己走回kfc了。回去的时候里面的店员告诉我他们已经报警了，还安慰我说餐厅里有好几个摄像头，肯定能抓到她们的。这时候我摸了摸自己的下巴，才发现下巴被磕破了，流了许多血，不过奇怪的是我居然不觉得疼。。。
