Moving In

I had 4 appointments to view apartments in the week before I drove down to Arkansas.  By the time I actually arrived in Arkansas, 2 of those appointments had been cancelled. Such are the frustrations of moving across states, I suppose.  Luckily one of those apartments is working out, so I have a place to live now, and don't have to continue living out of a hotel. Honestly, I didn't think there would be such hot competition for apartments in the middle of November.

This is the first time I am moving into an unoccupied apartment. Previously, I had been moving in with people as a replacement for their previous roommate.  So this is the first time I have had to create water and electric accounts.  I also had to jump through the seven firey hoops of setting up internet, which has its own frustrations. It is a service that people are going to buy no matter what, and even though there is some competition here, I had two companies to choose from, it was still fraught with 'one time set up fees' and other hurtles that pop up once you're half-way through the set-up process. I'm not very happy with AT&T right now, so I went with their competitor, who admittedly is not much higher on my affections list.

Anyway, I have a small apartment, and here are some pics of what it looks like empty. I have ceiling fans!

I sort of like the included bar stools. Door on the left is my room, the far door opens to the bathroom/laundry area.

I have my own laundry machines.  : D

Bedroom doors from left to right are closet, bathroom, and living room/kitchen area.

Anway, hopefully I will have more interesting things to post once I am completely up and running there. I will be starting a Master's degree in Entomology working with insect movement between Switchgrass fields and other crops.  I hope to have other interesting entomological and adventure posts in the future!
