The Tale of Apt. 211

Today we began our city seminars--mine is Urban Politics and Social Systems. This class will be great, and I know I will learn a lot already. We are focusing on the political and social issues behind homelessness, the poor, social services, the death penalty, and more. I expect my world-view to develop quite a bit more through this class, even if it is only once a week.

We signed the lease and got keys today! Unfortunately, because it is still getting finished, we have to wait till tomorrow to move in. BUT we have been thrifting a lot and gained some great purchases such as a $10 large carpet, various cute ceramic dishes, a few mugs, bowls, silverware, and pots! It's so cute! Plus we are checking out this other thrift store that delivers which is great and its so cheap! So we are hitting that up tomorrow and then we might be getting some mattresses from the hotel for free and the renting a Uhaul van(for only $20/ 4 hours) to get stuff from Ikea and deliver all of our suitcases to the apartment! That may end up happening over the course of two days as we are allowed to spend tomorrow night in the hotel as well.

So, I may end up driving a Uhaul through Philadelphia tomorrow, or maybe Saturday, but the adventures definitely continue...

Have a good night!
