MOVING

I stuff my résumé into envelopes, and I calculate that if I buy stamps to send the envelopes I'll run out of money before my last school loan check arrives.

Boston University calls to say they can't send my check because I am not enrolled anywhere. "You are not a student," says the bursar.

I call Tano to cancel tonight’s date and every date for the rest of eternity. "You don't want to go out with me," I say. "I don't have my master's degree and I don't have rent for this apartment and I don't have a job."

He says, "Didn't you know all that when you moved here?"

We go out and I order tap water. He gets a main dish and two sides and I think he looks rich. He looks stable and well-fed; I want him to buy me dinner.

We go back to my apartment and have sex on the floor because there's nowhere to move if we unroll the bed.

"Boston University" is a real space where the writer says that she is not enrolled. We do not know if she is in Boston or not.

The place "apartment", that is the second place mentioned, is the place where the narrator lives.

Finally, "the floor" and "the bed" are places that are in her apartment.
