Starting January, I’ll be working for Basis Tech in Cambridge. Their office is a two-minute walk from Alewife on the MBTA, so I won’t have a car this time around and I can’t begin to say how happy I am to not have to pay for gas and insurance. I’ll be doing development and programming projects.

My new apartment is right next to Fenway Park (I can see Jillian’s from my bedroom window). Unfortunately it looks like I’m about .3 miles from the nearest greenline T stop, Hynes Convention Center, and .4 miles to Kenmore. Northeastern’s a .75 mile walk from the apartment. You can check out the location with Google Maps. For coop it will be nice not needing to be on campus, but I’ll probably have to get a bike once summer two semester starts and I’m back in classes again. The most exciting part about my first apartment is that I will be moving my furniture from home into it - my queen size bed, my glass desk, my glass shelves, my nice lighting…all the things that I can’t have in an on campus apartment, not mention the fact that I can paint my walls a color other than eggshell. I’m so tired of white walls and posters trying to cover them up.

I feels like I’m making a big step towards being independent - for real.
