oh! the apartment!

the apartment is a very nice two-bedroom, two-bath setup in the south loop--about three blocks from columbia's main buildings. the building itself is nice and, although some mention was made of other columbia students in the building, but is mostly quiet families and couples. sweet.

the apartment currently houses three columbia students, all girls my age. two of the girls are moving out, and i am replacing one of them. i haven't met my other roommate yet, but the going sentiment is that everyone is "totally laid-back and easygoing." seeing as i am too, i think it'll work out okay between us. if there will be a third roommate remains to be known.

the gal i'm replacing had the secondary room, which is a very nice size and has its own bathroom across the hall. the other two girls shared the master room and bathroom. again, not sure how that's going to pan out, but--there you are.

i look forward to moving and settling in and finding creative ways to live simply and cheaply there. i'll be making use of local second-hand shops, i'm sure, and maybe even getting creative if i have time. i won't promise pictures.
