Change in Decision

Well, after all the consideration on the last single apartment, I ended up finding a better place with the help of another friend! The picture on the left is a small icon from the the web page. But I will take better photos once I get there to show you what the rooms and surroundings look like. This apartment is a 3-bedroom suite on the second floor. My friend told me yesterday, just before I was going to the bank to get a money order for the first landlord, that her friends were looking for a third roommate for their apartment. Apparently the two girls she was talking about had already decided to live there starting in May and they were just missing one more person... How strange is the timing! Anyway I spoke with the landlord, who seemed very thorough and kind on the phone, and told her I would like to reserve that room after asking her some questions about the building and facilities. Honestly that place looks like a resort... That is a good thing I suppose? The only 'down' side is that instead of 5 mins away from campus, this place is 10 mins away from campus. Well, I don't really mind that at all. Walking is good. If I can't walk it, then I will run it! That certainly will be satisfying. Anyway, so I paid the deposit yesterday for the place. That is another biggie settled.

Now, my forgetful mind has been causing me nothing but troubles. I still remember the time when I went to get my passport renewed in the downtown office. After spending 20 minutes looking for nearby parking space, I finally found a meter that was about to expire soon. But of course, I was unaware of that at the time. Then I ran to the passport office, which was located in an obscure corner in the Sinclair Centre, and stood in the long line up. Looking at my watch I realized that I probably didn't have enough time to finish the procedure, if I still wanted to get to work on time... But maybe I could just call work and let them know I would be a bit late due to important passport issues. Well, when I reached for my prepared documents, I realized I had all but one thing missing - my passport photos!! Anyway, it was funny and frustrating at the same time. The plus side of all this was that I got to work on time.

Yesterday when I went to the doctor's, my forgetful mind kicked in again! And I left a few important documents on my desk, begging to be taken away. Well, I was going to. Ultimately I couldn't get all the things done due to some missing information so I had to make another appointment with the doctor. The good thing is that my school advisor delayed the deadline for me by a few days. Otherwise I would be in deep doo-doo.

Today should be smooth coasting, I hope. I got nothing but running and work on my agenda :)
