It's pretty nice, for a DC apartment at this price. It's two levels with the kitchen/dining room and one bedroom on the first floor, and the living room and second bedroom on the second floor. The outside of it is ugly but overall- I am content!
I didn't take any pictures from my camera in the cab but these pictures represent some of the things I saw on my way to my apartment.
Unfortunately the sky is pretty much the sky I saw when I came in. Oh, and I knew that DC was going to be humid but oh--my--gosh!
So I arrived in my apartment and two rooms were closed. I opened one and someone was passed out so I quickly shut the door. The room upstairs were also closed so I assumed that it was also a bedroom and someone else was sleeping. With two suitcases and nowhere to unpack, I sat on the couch and worked on my computer for a good twenty minutes.
After the first roommate woke up, R, I decided to move in with her. The second roommate, C, I met later after I moved all my things in. C is definitely more similar to me, personality wise, but I think rooming with R will work out. Plus, the room we have has a bigger bathroom. Very important when sharing a room.
While exploring the apartment I noticed that the fridge was, I kid you not, practically empty. R and C hadn't even made ice with the ice trays. Le sigh. They claim they hadn't gone grocery shopping because of the rain but it's been a week. No excuse.
Unable to deal with this, I went with C to go grocery shopping. Well... long story short, we went in the direction of no grocery stores. Finally, after getting pointed in the direction of the nearest grocery store, and 15 minutes later, we arrived at a grocery store. Now knowing that it would be a 20 minute walk home, I was very limited as to what I could by. Nonetheless, I am pretty stocked now.
So now I am officially moved in.
Tomorrow's forecast:
- -Farmer's Market shopping
- -Test the metro ride to my workplace and my friend, Katharine's, workplace... with Katharine!!!
- -Get some practical shopping done
Soooo exciting! I'm glad you're all moved in and you get to see Katharine!
