Another first today: My first apartment on my own. I signed the rent and deposit check, and tonight I’m the blissful tennant of a new apartment. New paint, carpet, fridge and microwave sealed the deal. In the college town land comproised of mostly renters, there are pleanty of horror stories.
Like the roomate looking for open-minded males only… what’s that about? Or the Cozy studio apartment where you can pee, shower, fry an omlette and pay your bills online moving only your arms… yeah. There are those funny keywords that make you wonder. Convenient… or under a freeway and next to the train tracks? Secure… or bars on windows and cops visiting every house on the block each week?
It is easy to see how work will quickly become a routine. The group we have has great interaction. As i get to know people more, I hope to branch out to doing other things in the paper.
I’ll be moving my stuff in the next two days and sitting on the floor until I have enough money for furniture. I hope the residents are sharing their wireless internet connections until i figure out if i want a local phone line and DSL or cable internet.
Email me if you want my address.
Oh, tenuous tennant, you’ll be home soon.
