Student Digs for Year 2: First Impressions
Today I visited the house I'm going to live in for the next year of University. Not quite as exciting when going with your Dad. My dad works in rental properties and was not too impressed by how basic and shabby it was. I think as he supplies rental houses to the government there is a high standard they finish them too. Whereas, my friends and I are lowly students and wouldn't know mess if we drowned in it.
(I disagree with this actually- mess that I have no control over stresses me out greatly because it doesn't let my mind rest. And there is nothing I can do about without reverting back to bossy 7-year-old Katey that ran my class' pokemon fan club :()
Otherwise, I'm excited for when I officially move in next weekend. In a fit of excitement, I moved my playstations up there today just because... I immediately regret this as I'm likely to want to play them if they are no longer there. However, should give me time to sort out finding a new patient to follow-up. While I'm organised with most other things in life, when it comes to potentially failing my course due to not being able to write a dissertation, I procrastinate :/ It's because I care and I want time to mentally prepare... is my excuse.
I remember first viewing it and choosing it with my friends nine months ago. How exciting it was :) Even more so that we took a risk on each other so early on in our friendship.
The whole purpose of today was to be present for internet installation. How exciting too- signing a contract saying I will pay for something! This is the first time something could go wrong and affect my future credit. It makes me feel very grown up and responsible. Also scared out of my mind, a little.
