The first two apartments that I was deciding about both fell through, so I have decided to just go full steam ahead with apartment finding. I am also fairly sure that if I manage to actually accomplish this in Germany, finding apartments in America will be no sweat. Right?
Anyway. I visited two apartments this rainy rainy Friday. I don't actually work on Fridays, so I slept in, showered, looked up apartments on the internet and waited for it to stop raining. Of course, as soon as I was a few 100 feet from the house, it started to rain again. Apparently, it rains a lat here. Something about being directly on the Baltic Sea.
I wandered into town, found a teacher friend of mine, and we hung out on the train ride into the city. We went our separate ways because it was still raining, and she had a bike. I went to the mall to look at shoes. I very nearly bought myself trendy knee-high European boots but have decided that those will have to wait until I have an apartments, as a reward.
After several hours in the mall, I wandered towards the apartments, to see the neighborhoods a bit. The first apartment, with a dude named Merten, was cool. Kind of small, has two cats, my room comes with a loft bed and an armoire, it has a fairly good sized balcony. Merten and I hung out for about an hour, drinking apple juice and talking. So, I hope it went well?
The second, with Andrea and Maike, was much cleaner, a larger room that comes with all of its furniture, a bathroom in the kitchen, an actual cleaning schedule, and pretty fun roommates. I hope this one also went well, because the sublet lasts just about exactly as long as I need it, though it starts a bit late.
Learning from my last mistake, I'm not going to get optimistic. We'll see how it all goes.
