Yep, you got it. This is my 100th published post on my blog! Go me!
Today is September 6th and the past few days have been pretty hectic.
Friday 3rd September:
I recieved a letter off my university saying that they were unable to provide me with accomodation. My Dad and I have a matchplay final - the family trophy, a competition we both really wanted to win - but I was so worried about having nowhere to live! We rang up and got some appointments to look around some rooms in houses in the private sector part of the accomodation for the university for Saturday 5th.
We went to play golf, although it took my half the round to get to grips with myself and get university out of my head, I started playing well and as my Dad was playing really well, we managed to win 5 and 3. We are the Family Trophy Winners 2010! Everyone was so please, I'm over the moon, it's such a nice thing to win with my Dad.
We spent the evening drinking, walked home via the chippy and went to bed ready for an early start the next morning.
Saturday 4th September:
Early rise, leaving at 8 to meet our first appointment at 10. We looked around 3 apartments, it was chaos! So many people were looking for rooms, they were going here there and everywhere, we barely got the chance to look at some because they were taken off the market the minute we stepped out of the houses.
At 1pm, we met an estate agent and 3 of the 4 rooms had been taken since we had spoke on the phone. We went to look at the fourth room. In a house where eight friends in their second year who had moved in together, but one person had dropped out so there was a room spare. We went and looked and I liked the house and the room. We had to decide between that room and one we'd seen earlier if it hadn't been taken. As my parents and I were discussind it, a pretty girl who lived there came in and introduced herself saying that she'd love for a girl to move into the room because there were two girls and five lads there. She was lovely and it's her I have to thank for making me decide on that room.
I signed the contract and now I officially have a room, I'm moving away. All of a sudden, it got real.
That evening I had an email off the estate agent, I had been attatched to a email sent to all of the other tenants introducing me.
Sunday 5th September:
I played golf with a few people, one of which I adore and wish we were still as close as we were but I suppose that's life. I also waited for one of the people living in the house to get in touch. No-one did. Maybe they're all cool and actually have a life, therefore don't spend all their time on the internet.
Monday 6th September:
I went to meet my two best friends, had a lovely day catching up and talking about uni. I checked my email when I was there and guess who I had an email off!
One of the lads from the house had emailed me and told me to add them all on facebook. This evening I've spent my time singing to try and get my voice back because I found out today that I am very out of practise and messaging three of the lads who I will be living with in less than three weeks.
I've had a turn around. After this weekend, something changed and I can't wait to move in there and meet them all. I really hope we get on and they like me, I'm quite nervous but it doesn't matter because I'm so excited!
I'm going to miss my friends and family immensely, but this is it. I've been waiting for this my whole life.
The next step. The next move. The start of the rest of my life. And I just cannot wait.
