Apartment

The apartment hunt is done, and i found a near-perfect place for a great deal. (i'm pretty proud of myself.)

Pros:

• About a mile and a half to school, so on days that i walk i'll get three miles in!
• A block from the R8 train that goes right into Center City (and from there to NYC, Washington DC, or the Phila airport)
• Larger than any apartment i've ever had before - 875 sq feet with 1.5 bathrooms and a tremendous walk-in closet, dressing area, and den
• Huge kitchen that is its own seperate room -- not the galley style i've always had
• GREAT fitness center with three elliptical machines and four treadmills so that i can start injecting workouts into those other three days a week that i presently don't utilize
• Newly remodeled stuff that still SMELLS like new carpet and cabinets
• Because i'm an educator i get a discount package on rent and security deposit
• 4 blocks from the trendy Germantown Avenue shops
• And the best part... the windowsills are wide and low so Sao can sit on them and watch the world go by

Cons:

• Air conditioning is not central, it's wall units
• Heat is gas (and therefore $$)
• No balcony
• It's on the ground floor of the first apartment building i've ever been in with elevators!

Can't wait to show you guys this place!
i'll be moving in officially in late July, and will have about a month until school starts where i can hopefully do some traveling. Maybe see some of those babies i've never met!

Will update better with photos when i return to Wichita in a couple weeks.
