Homeless No More!
Yey!! I finally found me an apartment!! I was all set to room with this Indian named Kavita, since I figured I would be moving out after 6 months anyway, and the pain would be short-lived. But with 3 weeks left to go before I had to move out, my supposed housemate just informs me 3 days ago (!) that she was moving out to another place, leaving me high and dry.She even had the nerve to tell me she wanted me to take over her 2-year lease (since she was leaving after only a month). I was trying to be nice and all that, but inside I was thinking I'd rather sleep in a hotel for 6 months and pay an obscene amount of money in the process, than help her out. Gr...
So there I was, in panic mode, hyperventilating into a brown bag and in the throes of a nervous breakdown. I practically begged my officemates to let me room with them but even if they agreed, I knew it was an imposition and my pride was suffering like hell. So these were my options:
1) Find my own apartment.
Pros: I can walk around naked if I want.
Cons: Time and desperation may force me into a high-rent place that's quite fug.
2) Room with someone.
Pros: Saving on rent and no lease to break if I move in a few months.
Cons: I need to get a thicker face.
3) Find 6 friends to molest and move to a new place every month.
Pros: No rent.
Cons: No more 6 friends after.
So I went house/room-hunting today and I found a nice new unit with floor-to-ceiling windows. It's a small space, definitely smaller than what I have now so I'll have to convert the living room/dining area into my own personal bedroom!! :) The bedroom becomes my study and walk-in closet. I won't have a dining area but so what. I'm kind of excited now since I'll have a huuuuge bedroom.
The only drawback is it's about 10 minutes walk to the office and up a small hill. Ugh. I have to exercise. I'm going to miss my current apartment - imagine, 5 minutes from my door to my desk. Sob sob. I might have to buy a bike.
