bone in sub

i went to see another apartment after work today. it’s a basement around bloor & dovercourt, and it’s actually really nice – has more windows than i would expect in a basement, and it’s CHEAP! the horrible place i saw yesterday was $500 for a 6×10 bedroom and a tiny kitchen and bathroom…this place is $550 for a bedroom that’s way, way bigger, plus a kitchen, bathroom, and sitting area. i could actually afford it and not have to borrow money during the school year!!! really hope i get it.

when i was talking to my prospective landlord, she asked what i’m doing, i said i’m going into my fourth year at U of T, and she replies “oh wow, you look young!”. yesterday, i had already told the landlord that i go to U of T, and she asked me right away “so you’re in second year?”. a couple weeks ago my uncle’s (very nice) portuguese neighbor told me in a strong accent “you have the face of a 17-year-old!”. i don’t really get carded much (i think that’s attitude?), but almost everyone seems to think i’m 2 or 3 years younger than i really am. that’s nothing for people in their mid-twenties, but for all these people to think i’m a teenager is a little insulting! i think i look 20. i’m 21, maybe i should grow a beard now. i guess i’ll try it this winter.
