90 College Av

Seriously, can this really be real?! After a long trip and the wait in the airport I was hoping my worst fears about the room I rented wouldn't come true. Well, I was wrong again. My room is actually okay but the rest of the house is a mess. Holes on the wall with wiring that has to be illegal, real wood floors that make more noise than a train, and the worst, the bathrooms. I've been to public bathrooms that are better than these. I must take a picture at some point... but I need to get a camera first. I can bet a lot of money that the bathrooms have not been cleaned in years. I'm not talking about months.... but YEARS!!! I'm seriously looking forward getting my university (NEU) card, in that way I should be able to shower there. 

As I said, my room is okay, but it is okay now. When I got here it was very dusty. I had to go to the store and bought a bunch of cleaning products and a broom. I spent about 2 hours just trying to make this room livable. I'm not quite there yet, but at least I have a bed and nice sheets (thanks to Sarah!). Sunday, I intend to use disinfecting on the entire floor. 

Anyway... these are going to be the longest 6 months of my life.

Arrival

After getting to Orlando with enough time to spare, I learned that my flight had been delayed from 11am to 1pm. Thankfully I had been upgraded to 1st class!! What a difference! Delta immediately found me an alternate flight via Atlanta. A bit of a hassle but better than the wait. When I got to Boston I noticed that my original flight was cancelled, so the decision of taking the flight via Atlanta sounded even better. 

But since not all can be good, one of my bags did not arrive. So, I had to stay in the airport to wait for the next flight from Atlanta and get my bag. Yes, I could have asked them to deliver but at that point I didn't even know if the room I rented actually existed. Finally, after 2 hours of wait in the airport the bag arrived and I was on my way to 90 College Av., Unit 3.
