So now that winter is officially here...

Seems like I don't have anything of substance to bitch about at the moment (how un-curmudgeonly of me). I'm happy to report that my wonderful significant other created a banner for this runt-of-a-blog. Time to stretch out and settle in; it feels homey already.

In other news, I'm growing especially concerned with the winter weather in my soon to be new city ("New City"). I mean, I knew that New City's weather was considered to be, on average, much worse than my current city's weather. However, when I made the decision last year (I deferred), New City had experienced a much milder winter than normal, thus leading me to believe life in New City would be fine. Eh, such is my luck. Wait, what am I thinking! As many (erm, all 2 of you?) of you are no doubt thinking: "Silly R.C.! You'll never encounter the light of day during law school! Don't you worry about that weather; you'll be protected by the warm cocoon of cynicism and the dull hum of the wan fluorescent lights of New City School of Law!" I guess I have nothing to worry about. Cue the single tear dripping down my wizened face.

In all seriousness, though, I'm so thankful I've discovered law school blogs as most of them have assiduously limned the day-to-day of law student life. I think I may have even happened upon a few bloggers from my future school, which is wonderful. Hope you all are staying warm.

Now, back to obsessively examining the feckless websites of the "recommended" apartment buildings near New City School of Law. If apartmentratings.com is even remotely accurate, I already fear all possible management companies in New City...

Avoid apartments.com and any other such rental service. Use a locator to get some ideas and then look on Craigslist. You are much more likely to find a condo for rent that way, and condos for rent are much, much better than the big rental buildings in the area.

Also consider NOT living right near the school. This city has so many wonderful neighborhoods and unless you have a really good reason for living next door to school (children, needy pets, immobility problems) you'll end up being happier in another area. Live near the water and you can take an express bus pretty much door to door.

Thanks for the info!! This really helps actually since I wanted to live further out (but am worried about the hit public transportation is supposedly getting next year). Express bus you say! I'll need to ask a lot of questions during ASD...
