Lyra Syndrome

I can start looking for apartments in Boston once I:

1) articulate a decent thesis

2) type out a decent personal statement for my apps

3) take the GRE

4) get into either UMass or Brandeis

5) get money from UMass and/or Brandeis

6) get a 4.0 my last semester/easiest semester of undergrad

7) fucking graduate

But at least I am constantly reassuring myself that I can, in fact, can find cheap, decent places to live near campus.
