House hunting

With a kind of insouciant guilelessness, I find and commit myself to an apartment in just three days. It's safe, though (I hope): the Skype tour suggests pleasant housemates and ample sunlight; the rent is reasonable; and I can walk or bus to campus, depending on weather and whim. My housemates this time will be German and Colombian, and one of them is an avid cultivator of indoor plants. I should emphasize the sun, which appears not only in pictures but also in live virtual tours of the place, excellent for growing plants. For once in my life, I am ferociously decisive: Send me the lease, I say. (And tell me where I can buy a bed.)
