 * Sharing an apartment**

I've shared a two-bedroom, two- **bath** apartment with my **roommate** for two years. He was moving to Austin and I posted a "**roommate wanted" ad** in the local newspaper. I got a few calls, a couple from some very **weird** people. Finally, I got a call from Andrew. He seemed normal **on the phone** and we agreed he would **stop by** today to see the apartment.

When he got there, I **showed him around**. The apartment has a **pretty** large **living room** with a large **couch** and TV. It doesn't have a **dining room**, but it does have an **eat-in** kitchen. My room is the **master** bedroom with a **connecting bathroom**. My roommate's room was the **guest room** with the bathroom in the **hall.**

I told Andrew that he could use any of the **furniture** that my roommate was leaving behind. He was taking his bed and **dresser**, but he planned to leave his desk in the bedroom. I also told him that he could use any of the **appliances‚**Äîthe **refrigerator, microwave,** and **coffee maker.**

Andrew said he liked the place and we agreed on the **rent** and to **split the utilities.** It was settled. He would **move** in next month. What a relief I didn't have to talk to any more weird people!
