aw hon, yikes! well i don't know what to say cept, first off, whatever is broke, call your landlord asap!!!! is the main thing that the stuff that was there before and made it seem nice is gone now having been moved out? i'm sure that if it was nice before you will be able to (albeit maybe a little slowly) surely make a home out of it with your own touch! anyways i wish you good luck and congrats on your first apartment

*hugs* and a huge bouquet of violets!!!!!
and p.s. you should have SEEN the horrendous mess that our apartment was in when the guys that lived there before moved out - it was heinous- and within the past like two months it's been positively TRANSFORMED into a great apartment

so have faith and keep your chin up!
