The New Apartment
I'm now nearly entirely moved into my new apartment downtown. It's an awesome location, right on Burnside and mere blocks from the L&C shuttle stop. Out of my windows I can see all of downtown Portland the Crystal Ballroom is mere steps away. Walking down the street the other day, I also found out that I live surprisingly close to Monica Flori, the chair of the Spanish department. Monica has good taste, so I suppose it's natural that she would live in my neighborhood. My apartment building was built in the 1920s. The outside of the building is lovely, but the inside rather shows its age, what with noisy, moody plumbing; the inability of my apartment to receive cable service; and kitchen appliances that largely don't work.
But I like it! Check it out the pictures. The first shows the couch and my bookshelf which is arrange according to the Library of Congress classification. The second is the kitchen area. The third is the front door. The fourth is the grand walk-in closet, which I am using to its full potential. The fifth is the bathroom. The sixth features large quantities of homework and study materials on my couch so that I may be ever-studious. And the seventh is my votive candle collection.

Megan, Great to find your blog. I never hear anything about you these days. Your apartment looks good. Are you living alone?
I had so much fun in my single college days. I'm glad you are, too.
Love, Deborah

I also like this apartment, but of course, you have already moved before I get to Portland.
