Upcoming in the next couple months

I will most likely be moving into a new apartment by the end of this year or early next year (since my lease runs out on 12/31). To be honest, I really don't have many complaints with my apartment nor the management company (except for the fact that I got 3 warning letters last year. Though I think who ever complaint moved out already. Ha!) The rent is reasonable for a loft and it's only a 10-15 minutes commute to work.

That being said, I am kinda getting bored of this place. I've never stayed at the same apartment for more than a year. Cary Quad (theoretically speaking it's a dorm) - 1 year; Waldron - 1 year; Marsteller - 1 year; GreenBush - 1 year; Jefferson Commons - 1 year; Hawkins - 1 year. See what I mean? It's amazing that I've been living here for close to 2 years already.

In addition, the more pressing reason is that I will be moving to our brand new campus in Verona in Nov/Dec (Yippee!). Hence the commute will be a bit longer than I like. I am thinking of getting an apartment either in Verona or Fitchburg area. On the totally opposite spectrum, I also thought about moving to the downtown/campus area. Living close to the UW campus has always been an intriguing idea to me. I think Vicky had it right when she said that you can only live in/close to the downtown area for certain interval of time in your life. Once you past that stage, it will become too exhausting and out-of-place. But of course, the biggest drawback is the higher rent and the way longer commute. Um... at least I'll have another 2 months or so to hunt for my next dream apartment.

Also 2 more deadlines before Christmas - I sooooooooo need a vacation.
