Moving.

On September 1, as did many students in the fair city of Boston, I moved. In particular, I moved from Beacon Hill to Jamaica Plain. Side note: I was going to link those neighborhoods to their PRIZM results, but surprisingly, they contained the exact same segments. Who knew? For those who are unfamiliar with PRIZM segmentation, click on the link I just gave you, click on “Zip Code Look Up,” and put in your current or hometown zip code–it can be pretty interesting.

Anyway. That was all pretty boring. Sorry. What I really came here to do was write the following lists. These may or may not be less boring. Either way, NOT MY PROBLEM, I just don’t feel like unpacking.

THINGS I WILL NOT MISS ABOUT MY OLD APARTMENT

1. Walking up three flights of stairs to get to it.
2. Paying way more than it’s worth to live there.
3. Being 123910893 degrees hot in the summer, since it is so high up.
4. The constant, inane whirring of the ventilation system of the building next door, since its roof was right outside my bedroom window.
5. Not having blinds on my bedroom window.
6. How it constantly looked, seemed, and felt disgusting, no matter how well it was cleaned.
7. The floors being so uneven that it was impossible to sit at the kitchen table without sliding towards the door.
8. The kitchen being so small that you couldn’t sit at the kitchen table unless no one had any intention of doing anything else in the kitchen.
9. Having less than 1 sq. foot of counter space.
10. Having to wash dishes by hand.
11. How the fridge was tiny and its door was on the wrong side.
12. Having to leave the building and walk up a steep hill to do laundry.
13. It being so tiny and cramped that at any given time, I knew exactly. What my roommates. Were doing.
14. The way the carpet was the color of cigarette ashes mixed with feces.
15. The way the carpet felt like a mixture of cigarette ashes mixed with feces.
16. The way the carpet smelled like a mixture of cigarette ashes mixed with feces.

I could continue, but I suppose that’s good for now. Now for…

THINGS I WILL MISS ABOUT MY OLD APARTMENT

1. How close it was to the red line and the green line.
2. How close it was to campus.
3. How close it was to the best pizza in the world.

Aaaand. Uhhhhh. Nope, that’s it.
