will our apartment-hunting woes never end?

we are having much trouble finding a place. especially in the gilman street area...it is just frustratingly difficult. the first place we wanted was taken not hours before we got there with the sufficient funds, the second place we didn't even get to look at, and the other two places we've checked out are total shitholes. davis and i have been frantically calling rental places and setting up apointments and negotiating costs and trying to figure out just what the hell we're going to do. now we're thinking, what's around in three bedroom that two people can share (davis and i don't mind)? the probably i have is, i really want to live in the area we are now. i love it. it's pretty and calm and close to the lake and state street and it just makes me happy. of course, right now i just want a place to live, i want to stop worrying, blah blah blah. so sunday there is a showing at a house on west dayton, which isn't so bad, it's cheap and not far away. so we'll see. arrrgh. hoping this will be settled by the end of next week...
