empty apartment

so my roommate moved out this weekend. she's going on to grad school back east. it's kind of weird not having a roommate again. i didn't have one for a couple years before moving down here, and was fine with it. but now after 7 months being thrown back into the no roommate situation is kind of weird. in some respects it is nice. i don't need to worry about picking up after myself in a timely manner, i can watch whatever i want (though we pretty much always wanted to watch the same thing: golden girls, E!, or something like that), among other living alone perks. but it is balanced out by the not having some one to constantly talk to and hang out with. definitely an adjustment. though the argentinian has been over a considerable amount keeping me company, which is nice. so at least i'm not always alone in the apartment. since she had a lot of furniture already in the apartment when i moved in i did not bother bringing down most of mine, save for a couch and furniture for my bedroom. so now my apartment is not only empty due to a lack of a roommate (the new one is not arriving until the 10th) but is lacking in furniture and decorations. i'm trying to slowly put up some pictures, and look around for some furniture that is both stylish and affordable. my bedroom is similarly decorated at the moment. i have only moved my bed in there and some night stands. as well as a few pictures, mainly contained in the sink/shower area however. hopefully the place will be presentable before anyone sees it.
