I know I havent updated this in awhile. You see I am in a new relationship and its generally long distance, but for 2 weeks it wont be and I have been pretty occupied with that. It has been interesting to say the least and I am learning a LOT in the process.

Ashmah came to visit for a few days and look at apartments before she moves down here. I always said I wanted to move out of howard county and back to PG when I could, but looking at some of those apartments while we have been looking around...I cant say that I do want to move out of howard county. It's like once you have experienced something better and nicer you don't want to step down. It's expensive out here though...thats 4 real. Maryland in general just is expensive unless you wanna live in tha hood or in a roach infested or crime ridden area. It sucks that that's how things are, but thats how it is I guess. I wouldnt mind living in Baltimore County though because they do have some decent affordable roach free places.

It was weird to be going out looking at a place with Ashmah considering we're both only 22 years old. I was just there for the ride though. I think my first place alone will be in Florida and the cost of living is MUCH cheaper there. I got some good ideas though of what I would look for when I move back home. We had a good time and let me just tell you that we have seen a very good amount of people and places. I would advise though for all apartment companies to make sure of a few things before you show a prospective tenant the place:

• please make sure you really DONt have mice on your premises BEFORE you tell the prospective that there's no rodent problems in the area...that makes them out to be liars when you see a mouse run right across your feet under the building
  
• make sure you remove the stinch of 50lbs of old fish from the freezer BEFORE the prospective tenant opens itand may need to be rushed to intensive care due to toxic fumes
  
• if yall have roaches just say it, no need to beat around the bush...either you do or you dont
  
• please know a lil bit about the place you're tryin to rent out
  
• stop talkin so much...some people are on tight schedules...show the apartment and give the application
  
• the person you have working in your rental office is representative of your entire property...your best person should be working there...rude people get NO love
  
• dont try to lie and act like ur place is state of the art with that old crusty washer and dryer in there
  

There are many many more not worth mentioning. LoL...all in all it was a fun time. I guess i'll writer more of the spring break blog one day...hahaha.

It's almost 5pm...time for my evening to begin...tonight its gospel skate night in bmore...it should be fun.

If you think I rocked my mic then holla!
