Strap on those boots and put your safari hat on! We're going apartment hunting! or rather, wandering through the city of new york, flabbergasted at sky high apartment prices for shit for bean rooms. Cleanliness is not their middle name and no, there are rarely good deals for this stuff. Alas, I am trying to live on the island of Manhattan relatively close (20 minutes by subway) to the Columbia med campus. If you haven't already gotten the memo and/or haven't talked to me in a couple months, I am going to Columbia's Nutrition masters program for a quick masters and reapplication to medical school. Hence the attempt at finding an apartment in New York.
I did look at a few 1br, studio places but found that they do not even fit my bed and desk comfortably (although i admit that my desk is quite large), for an astronomical price. We'll see how this all works out. My best option right now is to find someone to live with be it my brother or someone else and get a 2 br 1 ba apartment which is going for a decent rate at 113th and 7th. I saw the apartment yesterday and it was the last one I saw for the day. gorgeous in comparison to anything and everything else I saw yesterday. So yea, got roommate?

Uh, wow, this is what I get for not paying attention to things - I just now found this. Obviously, my own attempt at running a blog is in the process of failing miserably. I have 3 or 4 ideas bouncing around in my head, depending on which ones I've forgotten at any given moment, but they're all pseudo-intellectual, which means I'd have to devote something more than five minutes to them if they are to turn out halfway decent.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at Columbia and New York - maybe next time I get the itch I'll wander on up for a visit.
