before you know it you're frozen

I think I'm still re-adjusting to life in the US. It's so fast-paced. I feel like I'm always running at a mile a minute, have 10 things on my mind and 25 on my plate at any given moment, and am never quite caught up. I guess I didn't realize while I was away just how much more relaxed life was. Mind you, I was constantly bored stiff and miserable- ha ha ha. No, this fast-paced lifestyle definitely suits me better.

Unfortunately I now have another extremely sucky task added to my plate that I didn't think I'd have to deal with for a while: apartment hunting. The new and fabulous place that I moved into in may is a privately owned condo and apparently the landlord decided that it was a great idea to stop paying the bills. So it's being forclosed on. Boo. Back to the drawing board. Unfortuntely I haven't been able to find anything comparable with the price, updates and location. I have to compromise on one of them- I hate compromise.

I'll probably end up moving slightly away from the area that I love so much. I'd still like to have it be a place where I can walk to the grocery store, or happy hour, etc. But we'll see what I come up with. It might be nice to live in a complex as well- then I'd have a gym, parking, all that fun stuff and most likely not have to worry about pesky little things like foreclosure. :)

So if anyone knows of any sweet apartments in the Minneapolis uptown/downtown area- let me know ;)
