Hi there,
Before I say anything, know that I'm not a handyman. I'm young and have yet to own any property that I feel deserves time spent repairing small things.
That said, I'm in an apartment now for a few months and I'm bothered by an unsightly damaged area of plaster in my bathroom. I'm not in the kind of building where I'd be able to convince the super to fix it without any trouble (and I'd much rather not have strangers wandering through my apartment).
Here's the area:

Can any safe assumptions be made on how hard it will be to fix? Any opinions are welcome!
Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help you can offer.
