(no subject)

I know I haven't posted in about two weeks, but that is because my life has been crazy.

My grandfather died, my apartment was robbed (of, among other things, my laptop with the un-backed-up syllabus and information for the class I was teaching in a week), I went to Ohio for the funeral, two (of three) guys were arrested for the robbery so I had to go testify in court, I got a new laptop, my class started and I had no time to do anything other than furiously rewrite my lectures and find new scans of the readings, I went to Boston for four days. Whew.

And so in all that, I have not been entirely keeping up with LJ. But now, finally, I'm back! So, what all's been happening with you?

Moving

So, as a result of the whole robbery thing, plus the building owners being even more unbelievably shitty than I had previously realized (among other things, they have still not fixed the window the burglars came through, meaning we have had plywood covering it for a week and a half now), we're looking to move. Today we went to see our first apartments. There was one that was very nice- huge, lots of light, nice building- but I'm sort of uncertain on if we should wait to see more. This apartment is in Washington Heights at 170 and Broadway. Has anyone lived there? Have feelings on the neighborhood?
