what did you think about the apartment you looked at this morning.?oh boy. I was prettydisappointed.yeah that was the upside. the neighborhood is away from the city, so the yard was beautiful. but here's the downside: there wasn't a subway anywhere near the place! it would take forever to get to work.could you take a bus?It wasn't on the bus route that goes to my office .and besides, there weren’t any appliances. the building had a laundry room in the basement, but i really wanted one in the apartment .and i couldn't believe it didn't even have a microwave! how would i zap my popcorn every nightyou could always rent appliances or even buy them secondhand i guess so. but anyway, it had only one bedroom. we have three kids.so that's just not enough space. there were just too many downsides for me to rent that place.what's that old proverb? "if at first you don't succeed, try again. "I guess you'll just have to keep looking to find your dream apartment.
