The other day at our weekly staff meeting, Tommy informed us that next semester we would have the pick of the litter for moving into a new apartment. This sounded pretty cool at first, but after a few seconds of consideration, Corey and I both realized that while our apartment is rather out of the way for most of the city, it isn't too bad, and it surely isn't bad enough to warrant the hassle of moving.
We said thanks but no thanks, and were promptly informed that we misunderstood (read: it was miscommunicated to us). Our apartment will no longer be rented by the school at the end of the semester, so we're out if we like it or not.
I guess it's a good thing we've got first dibs on a new pad.
All things considered, I'm letting myself get excited by the move instead of being annoyed. I won't settle for a worse apartment, so there are no worries there. It'll be nicer, and if the rumors are to be believed, in a much better and more central location.
More on this story as it develops.
