YAYYYYY!!!!!
Okay, that's enough of that. Although, I do hope you all sang that out loud, because I know I did.
We actually decided to go with the first apartment that we saw yesterday. The second apartment was incredible, but Brian and I decided that it was more important for us to get situated earlier so we can settle in instead of having to wait around for another month, living out of our suitcases. It's been great staying here, but I'm definitely ready for my own place. The landlord had actually called Elizabeth this morning and she told her we didn't want it. We looked around for other places this morning, without much luck. Elizabeth found an AMAZING place, but once again it wouldn't be available for a month and it wouldn't be guaranteed to be ours if we liked it. So, we chatted and Elizabeth is going to wait it out and find some other people who would be interested. Brian and I called back our future landlord to see if the apartment was still available. Obviously it was since I'm typing this now, but still... YAY!
So the next couple days are going to be crazy. I'm visiting the schools tomorrow morning and hoping that we can get all of the paperwork together between tonight and tomorrow and hopefully be able to move in before the weekend! Brian wants to be able to move in tomorrow, but there's a lot of stuff to be gathered up, so we'll see. But, it should be soon!
The apartment is actually the building next door to where I'm staying now, so I don't have much of a commute to move my bags over. Plus, I can still pop in and see Christophe and Anissa really easily! It's an a safe area, close to 2 bus stops, which take you to the metro easily. It has a bike rental station right at the corner (if I ever pluck up the courage to try that again...) and it's a family oriented building, so we won't be trashing it by having parties... just doing that at other people's places. Smart, huh?
There are a few downsides to the apartment, but they're easy fixes. For instance, it isn't furnished, but there are loads of things for sale reallyyyy cheap online that we can pick up with Brian's car. We'll be able to find things easy enough and we can sell it back online before we leave! We can also talk to our teachers when we visit and see if anyone has extras of anything (like a microwave, table, etc.) It'll also be really easy to find a third roommate considering a lot of other assistants still are looking. I just feel a lot more relaxed knowing I have something lined up that I felt it was worth the little extra money for some cheap furniture.
You had better believe you'll be seeing pictures once I get moved in and then again once we start decorating!
I might be going out tonight, so maybe I'll have more to update on later, but we'll see. It'll be an early night for me so I can wake up and head out to my schools bright and early! I'm so excited!!
and just in case you still feel like dancing...
