Ok, I think I have a house.
Lecture today was just as boring, I'm afraid (sediment transport...ick, I want more about animals, thanks), but after dropping by the housing office again and telling them the details, I called the teacher (Christina is her name) and said I wanted the room (after hearing the price, they said I shouldn't pass it up if I thought it was a nice place). She was happy to hear that, b/c she said she liked me and that the other girl living there thought I was nice as well. I'm going over tomorrow after she gets home from work to look over contracts and such and if all goes well hopefully sign. The deposit will be something under £400 (£200 plus the first month's rent)- she'll do the math to subtract the days in October I haven't been there, and if everything works out I can move in tomorrow night.
I do feel better, b/c I think this place will be ok, the people are nice, and I've been shown a back way to ride my bike (I have an appointment tomorrow to look at a used one) so my trip into Menai Bridge will be shorter. Also, now I can start doing other stuff like get a bank account and maybe a cell phone plan and things.
*deep breath*
I think this will work. Christina seems to have a good reputation with the school, the other tenants seemed nice and no one warned me away from the place saying it wasn't good. The room is much smaller than I'm used to, but as it'll be only a home base, really, just somewhere to sleep and work a bit, I don't need much. Honestly, I wouldn't be able to fill a bigger room anyway; not like I brought much stuff with me. I'll have a bed and a wardrobe and a desk, and this way I'll have money to actually enjoy myself while I'm here.
Hm, I'm actually sort of at a loss as to what to do for the evening now. I can't do anything more about the house until tomorrow, and most of the shops will be closed, so apart from a bit of reading I have nothing pressing. Now that my stomach feels better about everything, I might try to find something to indulge in as a bit of celebration ;)
