All the time I've been in Paris, I feel like I've just been kinda playin' at the whole 'independence' thing. I mean, there's a cleaner who keeps my room in order, I don't have to cook for myself an' there's always someone around to ask if I need anythin' so... Yeah. Kinda feels like cheating, you know?
But yeah! I just got back from Paris with Ken (he's here for the weekend, we're havin' way too much fun! XD) I dragged him around a few places which was fun an' then... Then we went lookin' at apartments. I talked to Takeru on... Wednesday? Thursday? I dunno, be he has his own place so I wanted his advice an' we narrowed it down to three places an' today we went to see 'em an'... Yeah! I found a real nice place! They said they'd hold it for the weekend for me then I gotta decide if I want it or not, if I do? I move next weekend! How cool is that?! =o^^o=
It's not massive, but it has a separate bedroom, just about fits the bed in there! The bathroom is kinda old lookin' but like I'll be spendin' much time in there anyways and the livin' room an' kitchen are kind in one. The kitchen's real small, but that's cool an' the whole place comes fully furnished of a six month lease for €750 pcm (that's around 99,400 yen) an' a €400 (53,000 yen) deposit, which is doable an' it leave me an okay amount of money from workin' at the cafe (plus tips! XD) at the cafe, too! I think I'm gonna take it, I really kinda like it a lot already! Oh yeah, it's on the top floor above two other places an' a shop, too! Not far from work an' has an awesome view of the park!
Heh! This probably seems kinda sudden, huh? Well, the soccer seasons ends next weekend in Europe an' everyone from the academy goes home. I can stay, if I want, the staff will be about but all my friends? Goin' home. My contract with PSG is up come October, so I gotta stay close by an' Ban (the manager) said I could work at the cafe over the break, so... I dunno, it all came together real quick an' i guess me doin' somethin' so fast like this isn't all that odd, huh? ^^;
So yeah! REAL excited! The place has a pool, too! It's out back, under-cover, which is awesome! I guess I'll think it over tomorrow an' call 'em in the evenin' but it's lookin' pretty set! House-party for everyone?! XD
