Summer Boredom

There's nothing better than doing nothing for your summer.  I almost forgot what it's like.  I've worked every summer since I was 17.  First it was the fattening abomination at Auntie Anne's, then it as the cliquey  preppy retailer Abercrombie and Fitch and then it was the horrible bookseller, Borders.  But this summer I'm just relaxing.  That includes reading, watching my favorite movies, a reunion with my cello, and a cruise.  

Not too shabby.

I recently had time to enter a photo contest.  I entered in the categories of landscape and sense of place.  I was dumb and paid 12 bucks a photo but I think I have a shot.  

Let me know what you think.

Apartment living- college style

New apartment, new beginning.  Right?  But this is apartment living college style, making the story even more interesting.  Actually it's a house but since we're renting, I guess that makes it an apartment 

After all the bullsh*t me and my roommate Tosca went through to get an apartment.  We finally got one that was a steal.  

But before I even get into the details of my humble abode, I would just like to take a moment to thank Annie.  Annie was the sneaky landlord we were going to rent from for a small two bedroom apartment close to campus.  Too bad she ended up overlapping leases and insulting my roommate's mom.  Turned out it all happened for the better because now for the same price of Annie's pathetic place, we're getting bigger rooms, a proper kitchen, a den, a living room, a pantry, an extra roommate- Aja, and a backyard.  Haha!  The world rights itself again!

So here's a picture of my room, which is already cluttered as you can well see.  The great thing about this place is that it comes with furniture.  All I really needed is a bed and a desk.  Otherwise I'd be using oversized tupperware for a dresser.  

My view from my window.  I got the air conditioner just in time for summer.

I love the ample closet space, but somehow I already managed to make it cluttered.  

My bed, which is currently an air bed.  I hope to upgrade to a mattress soon.   Ah, sleeping on a mattress on the floor is the life.
