Today was new apartment day!
laurav2,
freakstop and I went to Kitchener this afternoon to get the keys to our new apartment! We were all ridiculously excited. We paid our April rent and got our shiny new keys, and then one of the superintendents took us up for an inspection of our place.
It was so nice to see it with all the renovations done! The kitchen is beautiful, all new countertops, fixtures and cupboards. The bathrooms are put together again, and all the plumbing seems to work fine! There were a few minor problems that the super noticed, and she assured us that they'll get fixed before we move in on the 19th. We danced around in our empty apartment for a while, put out the few things we brought with us (just to make it "ours") and then we went to the mall across the street to get food.
We came back, and sat on the floor, and ate our dinner while watching How I Met Your Mother and Castle from Monday night. It was a truly geeky induction to our truly geeky new apartment.
We also discussed paint colours and I'm super excited to get it all painted up. However, I'm still second-guessing my room colour - I'd picked out a nice pink, but I'm scared if I put it on the walls and live in it, I'll get sick of pink and I don't want to, because it's my favourite colour! I'm not sure, I think I might just put the pink on the walls, and if I hate it, then I'll just paint over it. Hopefully it will look nice.
I'm really excited for our kitchen, bathroom and living room colours - I think they will look fantastic! I'm just excited in general, to get us actually living there with all our stuff.
Goodbye student housing!!!
I'm a little sad over the fact that I still have 3 essays and 2 exams to write before I can be completely done and ready to move in. But hopefully I'll get through it.
