Finally, I have an apartment

You can all take a sigh of relief, because I am no longer homeless. I decided to take an apartment. The very same place I fancied back in December, when I was planning to move to Bermuda. The place the the crazy real estate agent (who was off her rocker) tried to get me to sign a lease for that would put me under over $5000 for advance rental fees. - Did I mention I'm renting for 5 months.

Anyways, truth be told the fact that she was pushy is probably what led to me to negotiate my rental costs. I went to see the apartment, and as i had seen previously it is adorable. A little cute and charming pool house tucked behind someones large ranchstyle home. This place has all the little touches that make it feel like a "home" away from home.

I went to check out another place up the road in the same area. This one was at the top of yet another hill. I will have buns of steel walking all these hills, it almost reminds me of brant lake. So up the hill we went to this little home, and the owner took us (Maria was so nice to drive me around again) through the blinds on a sliding door into the apartment. Immediately you see a bed with mattress, side table, all on a carpetted floor with no stove, a bar fridge, and a microwave. The bathroom was small and there was no laundry. This is why it is important to check out places before renting them. Or just moving. (p.s. this place is $1700 a month including electricity, water, and cable i think)

After all of this I was still stuck on the little pool house. I wanted to live there but not at that price. So I called up the landlord, and expressed my desires to make it work. She called me back yesterday and it was a done deal. She granted my request, I just have to pay for internet, and long distance of course. I'll let you know how moving day goes.

Oh happy day! Start booking your tickets people, keep in mind I don't have a couch so you can't come all at once, unless you don't mind sleeping on lawn chairs next to the pool. I will be home from April 1-10.

As for school, I am definitely getting into the swing of things. I am planning and trying to get ahead of the game. I miss you all.

Happy Birthday Vavo Antero...not like you have internet, but I'm hoping someone will pass that along. Until next time, may all your days be sunny...because it's raining cats and dogs here.
