The apartment was, well.....a basement apartment. I knew that it was, but I kinda forgot what that meant. Well, it meant that it was very chopped up. The bathroom was tiny, only having a shower stall, which was o.k cause I don't take baths, but it was ridiculously tiny. The first bedroom was off of the kitchen and had no closet and was not very big. The second bedroom was small, but had a closet and the kitchen was really tiny. I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but I have a really bad fear of falling down stairs. I'm pretty sure that's the way that my life will end, me & a set of steep stairs. So, my point is, this apartment had the Steepest stairs in the World, and seeing how I foresee my death involving stairs, I'm not put steep ones into my life any earlier than need be. So that didn't work out, BUT I was looking online today (even though I told mom I wouldn't) and I seen a 2 bedroom apartment available for July 1st, so I called and the guy said he was o.k with a small dog. We are going to go see it on Monday, it's only a block away from where we live now. It's on regent, which is not ideal, but having a Gizmo limits my options, so I can't be to picky about location. As long as it's on the Southside. OH!! I had my gerontology exam this morning and I think I did really well, I'm feeling confident. I got done in 45mins. There were people who got done before me too. The midterm was ridiculously hard and no one did well, so I think she made the final easier to bring the class gpa up. It was multiple choice, true/false, and fill in the blank!! No short answer questions or anything!! Woohoo!! I also finished typing up my sociology of religion final that is due tomorrow, so that'll be done. After that I just have to write my development issues final paper and I'll be done with University!! The job market in this city blows! I am really going to have to do some serious job hunting. I'll stay at Connect for now, while I'm searching, but I do not want to work in a call center for the rest of my life, blah!! Anyway gotta get ready for work....

Steep stairs huh? That's pretty morbid! You know, the more you fear it, the more likely it is to happen. They call that a self-fulfilling prophecy! You must not like the super huge, steep stairway going into my apartment!

Good luck on your exams. I'm sure you'll do great! You're a hard worker and I'm proud of you! :)

Thanks Lisa!! It can't be a self fulfilling prophecy if I avoid stairs and the apartments that have them for all my life!! HA!! :)

Hi There Krista;
That's really funny!! LOL
I can only say, if that's your only fear, then I don't think you have too much to worry about. (providing you stay away from.....them damn steep stairs!!)
I'm glad that the stairs at my apartment aren't to "Steep"!!:)
Don't ever get a small apartment. When you see that there's a shower and no bath,...that's strike one!No Closet space...strike two!And finally, everyone needs a good size kitchen!! So stike three!
And "Steep stairs" it's a No Brainer! hee hee hee. You'll find something nice, now is the time to look, cause all the Universty student are finishing up and will be going home. Keep your options open. (Find something that feels Homey)
luv ya;
