This whole moving to Boston, setting up a new life and all...well, it is stressful and extremely expensive!...I finally had the chance to sit down and do my finances, check how much I have been spending the past week since I have been here...and wow!....thank goodness for credit cards, and my parents!
I came to Boston last week Friday, and stayed a Hotel until Wednesday of this week to look for an apartment and wait for my stuff to get delivered from Michigan. After an entire day of apartment searching...which became kind of a soul searching process of what I wanted more...lots of personal space, or a good location...it says a lot about my next couple of years here (will I be spending a lot of time at home, or out and about?)...well, I went for the latter and settled for a 1 room studio smaller than my parents bedroom back in Zeeland....for a whooping $1095/month! BUT, the location is GREAT as it is 1 block away from the Prudential Center, Newberry Street, etc... I am excited!
So I checked out of my hotel on Wednesday because the movers said that my stuff would be in Boston at my place that night....well....it wasn't and still isn't. Tonight might be night #3 on the floor with my new blanket made of bamboo cotton from Pottery Barn (wha?!?! bamboo cotton?...my thoughts exactly; but it IS Pottery Barn, so that has to be correct right?...if anyone knew how to get cotton from bamboo, it would be Pottery Barn).
So since I have no furniture, no cooking ware, nothing...I have been discovering the different restaurants in the city...I think I am going to love it...the prices are comparable to Ann Arbor, but the selection is so much better!
Okay....I am the Boston Public Library right now, and it is closing, so that is it for now. More later! Also, Jackie comes today to live with me for the summer...her MPH internship is in Boston...yay!
over and out.
