Signed a 12-month lease!
Yesterday was indeed a big day.
The first house we looked at was ok, but wasn't really ideal for the three of us in the summer. The second house we looked at, however, was much better than one would expect from the price. The master bedroom is likely three times the size of one of the rooms in CLV for only $300/month. The other rooms are at least as big as those in CLV for between $235 and $265. During the time we were there looking, there were three other groups of people looking at it. I was pretty well willing to sign a lease then and there for fear that someone got it before us, however John and Andrew thought it would be a better idea to at least talk to Hugh about it before we make any decisions.
When Hugh got back, he agreed that we can't let such a filthy deal get away from us, so I made a last call to John and Andrew to confirm that we're all in on the lease. I called the guy back, and we made an appointment to meet later that night to sign the lease. We all signed, I gave him a cheque for $2360, and we're now the proud tenants of 239 Cederbrae, Unit 34 from May 2006 to April 2007.
To celebrate, I bought a Boston Creme Cake, and of course our trip to Abstract was now in celebration. We got there around 11, a little later than I was expecting. When we got there it wasn't empty per se, but rather not too crowded. After a while, Mat humoured me and went on the dance floor with me, and then dragged Carissa and her friend along as well. Only about half an hour passed before Nicole came and told us that she, John, and Hugh wanted to go somewhere else. It's almost as if they were looking at us and said "hm, Kevin seems to be enjoying himself, we should probably leave". I was a little offended, but I guess the chips will fall where they will. Even worse is that they left without telling Carissa or Mat. For all I know, I was the only one who was actually enjoying myself and everyone else wanted to leave. I guess I'll have to be a little more selective about who I invite next time I want to go somewhere.
After we left, we went back to John's where the rest were playing a drunken variant of Trivial Pursuit. I guess Hugh and Nicole succeeded in finally getting John trashed. They ordered pizza, so I claimed a piece for myself, and I left shortly afterwards since there wasn't much in terms of entertainment.
I went to the sale at Nexus, but it turns out the opened up at 10 AM instead of noon like I expected, so a lot of the stock was already gone. I did manage to pick up Saboteur and High Society, but Bang!, Bohnanza, Guillotine, and Fluxx were nowhere to be found (I hope you appreciate the time I put into finding decent links for those!). I wonder how much money I've spent on board games in the last year alone...certainly not too much! Never too much. At least I'll have a good collection to maintain in my lifetime.
Well, it seems I've failed in the pursuit of doing something productive today. I slept for three hours in the afternoon; I guess my body needed it. In about an hour or so, I think some people will come play games. I suppose since I slept so much, I'll be up late and can do homework until 1 or 2.
I think I'm having second thoughts about staying here in the summer already. By taking courses in the summer, I'd definitely be shooting myself in the foot for getting a job. I really can't have a full course load and maintina a job at the same time. I guess I don't really need the money anyways, but the ~$4k I made last summer definitely isn't hurting me in any way. Well, I have my whole life to make money, I'm only a student for another year. Well, I'll just let the chips fall where they may (if I may use the same idiom twice in one post).
Sorry for having such large posts lately...but what else do you have to do than read up on my life?
