Ok. Right now I live in a below-par apartment while going to school. Basicly I get one bedroom, a very small bathroom, a kitchen, and a hallway. My kitchen tables doubles as my desk because my bedroom is too small for one. My kitchen lacks a stove. In short, it kinda sucks. Now upstairs from me is a nicer 2 bedroom apartment, with all the works, including bigger bedrooms, a separate kitchen and a living room WITH A COUCH!!! The 2 girls who live there now are leaving this semester, so I planned on finding a roomie and moving on up to the good life. Well, I finally found a pretty cool guy to room with, but hes graduating in December, so will not be around for the spring semester. So I tell my landlord that I found the guy, and he says "I put an ad in the newspaper and Im getting calls in for the upstairs apartment for both semesters. So if you want to go up there with him, you have to sign a contract with me stating that you will either find someone to replace him next semester or you will pay me for his rent." Needless to say, I am not crazy about the idea of being liable to pay double the rent if I cant find a guy to room with in the spring. And being the spring semester, its quite difficult to find some one. So rather than take the risk and sign his contract, I gave up my hopes and dreams of living on the surface and have retreated back into my gloomy dungeon...
