Random Thoughts... new apartment?
I'm currently lying in bed because I'm sick and have been sick for a couple days. I'm not exactly sure what bug I cought, but I think it has to do with eating bad food. My roommates and I have come to realize that our refrigerator isn't always turned on and sometimes the plug comes out of the socket in the wall. Not to mention that there is still ice in the refrigerator and I still have to throw out some of my groceries everyweek. I told my landlord about the ice, but he didn't believe me and again thought I was stupid. I wanted to show him, but thanks to murphey's law the maid had just cleaned the fridge and removed all the ice. Oh well, he probably wouldn't have fixed it anyway since he still hasn't repaired my airconditioner (not that I use it anymore...I feel so stupid that I'm cold in Egypt! Its 75 degrees and drops to about 55 at night. Which is kinda cold, but not if you compare it to Colorado. But It does get 110 degrees during the summer so in consideration that is a big drop and I have the right to be cold:)) Also, the bed boards under my mattress aren't stable because they aren't quite long enough, so sometimes my bed caves in. Not that this is life threatening but I shouldn't have to deal with it, and my roommates shouldn't have to deal with their bathroom door not opening causing them to be stuck inside the bathroom. haha I'm glad they're not claustrophobic!! So to solve the problem I think I might change apartments. Two of my roommates were going to look for a new apartment anyway becuase the two sisters (Hania and Janan) currently share a room and a bed and Hania has to live out of her suitcase. Which is understandably not fun. But I like my roommmates a lot and it would be nice if we could all continue to live together. So this will be my new project. I need to find an apartment with 4 bedrooms (which might be the toughest part),preferrably closer to the AUC campus (we sometimes spend 2 hours a day commuting, and when you're busy that takes up a good chunk of your day), near a grocery store (haha assuming that we have a working refrigerator...we can buy a lot of groceries, becuase we all like to cook) near a gym (Hania and I like to go to the gym) and kinda close to the metro (haha we've all gotten used to coping with the inconveniences of the metro, that it would be hard to completely separate from it....lame I know:)) I think it would be fun and maybe we can actually decorate the apartment and make it homey. The walls here are like cement sidewalks making it difficult to use pushpins or nails and all my posters fall when I use tape or the sticky two-sided goo(sorry I don't know the name) that people use for pictures. So that is my random thought and now I need to confirm it with my roommates. I've talked to them all individually but we've never sat down and actually discused it....which would be a good idea:)
