things i will not miss

* my upstairs neighbours and their incessant thudding and thumping and banging and clanging

* the neighbour one floor up and one door over, who randomly BLASTS top-40 music for 15-minute stretches

* the smell of weed on the 2nd floor

* not being able to control the heat in my home

* not having air conditioning

* the drafty windows, with their cracked caulking and filthy grooves

* the cracked window ledges, where condensation pools and soaks the bottom of my blinds when it's very cold out

* the leaky bathtub faucet

* the off-centre light fixture above the sink

* the fact that, if i turn on the hot water in the kitchen, i have to run the cold water for a few seconds when i'm done or else the faucet drips

* having to schelp my laundry to my parents' house... and back

* being at the mercy of the management company's idiotic decisions

* CONSTRUCTION NOISE, construction workers, construction dust

* that weird bug that always finds its way into my place every june and flies out at me in the darkness

Adios, nuisances!

no, no. it's not a "good riddance!" kind of goodbye at all. for all its flaws, i still love my apartment. i love the space, the light, the VIEW, the neighbourhood.

i'm trying to remind myself of its shortcomings so that it will be less sad to leave.
