Exiled and reviled.

So my situation with my host did not work out. Needless to say that it ended badly but as I am not one to speak ill of others through the internet I will not elaborate further than to say I am now staying with a very hospitable friend. My host was reluctant to leave Williamsburg prior to my ejection from welcome status so I was unable to see very much of Brooklyn. I am now staying in Bed-Stuy which is a pretty urban area that is lined with fast food restaurants and garbage clutters the street. I think this is the part of New York that many people who see NY as disgusting, contaminated, and dangerous would think of. I have a room here if I want it but I'm scared of this neighborhood and the train that runs off of it is slow and unpredictable.

The apartment search is going slower than I had hoped. Some days there are dozens upon dozens of posts and some days nothing. Some people respond some people don't. It's chaotic and considering the very abrupt and sudden loss of my comfortable place to stay in the middle of the night due to insane drunken drama and an unstable person, it's made the process exponentially more difficult. I'm still scared to roam the subways alone and I get lost everytime I leave the house. I was starting to get familiar with the nighborhood I was in and now I'm stuck in a totally new place.

No idea where to go from here. I'm sick of living out of bags and feeling like a foreigner and it's only been four days. Please tell me it gets easier.
