After the excitement of the family reunion this weekend, after recovering from the muscle-soreness of my water-skiing attempt, after saying goodbye to all my dear cousins for another year at least, it's time to get back to work. This week is apartment week.
I didn't get the apartment I wanted, the apartment right next to Diana that would have been so easy because it was right across from our school. Thus, I am now left dangling in the abyss of uncertainty as I frantically comb through the world-wide-web trying to find an alternative option. It's a balancing act, weighing the scales of price against size and location. The harp is another complicating issue, because I have to make sure that if I'm not on the ground floor there is an elevator and that it's big enough to fit a harp (most of the time its impossible to tell). The apartment I like the best is not in the best location, and the best apartment I can find for a reasonable price near the school is really, really small! How important is location? How much am I going to care about the size of the apartment? Can it be so small that I get depressed about living there or would I get used to it?
For your viewing pleasures and my personal organization of thoughts, I will compile a list of places that I am considering as of this particular hour.
Here's the one I like the best on the inside:
Paul Feval
Here's the one that would be really close, but almost suffocating (check out the bathroom!):
Deodat de Severac
Here's a medium-sized one a medium-annoying distance away with medium-appeal:
Boetie
And yes, I'm looking at other websites, but nothing has topped any of these yet.
Help!

i can definitely sympathize with not getting the apartment you wanted...it sucks!! however, if it makes you feel any better, every single one of the apartments you linked to looks bigger, nicer, and newer than the majority of apartments i was seriously considering in new haven. and the one i got - no idea. it's super duper old, pretty small, and has cracks on the mirror according to claire. you reach a point you don't care, i guess. i'm sure you'll be happy and able to live wherever you live, regardless! :) good luck and keep me posted!
