lease

Signing the lease, some fancy name for an importantly wordy document, has officially made us tenants in name for apartment unit #7-07. So it's a few floors lower than the 11th floor unit that we originally wanted and the view is not as desirable, but it has nearly the exact same layout and size, and we get a renovated kitchen for the same monthly rental. There has been no final word on when the current tenant is moving out, but by August we should very likely be settling down.

I jumped from 13th on the waitlist to admission unexpectedly but all the better for me. Though I can't seem to get out of 7th spot for the other. My big hoopla about being denied enrolment to the last course turned out to be another of my stupid oversight. That course is tagged with an 'enrolment control' label, meaning students of a particular program are given first dibs on enrolment until July 12th when they open the course to the mass student population. Praise the Registrar's busy phonelines, elseways I would have blushed with dumb embarrassment over the phone.

There is much to do till the eighth month, like packing, cleaning up, scheduling movers, and shopping for new household items which undoubtedly has to be the best part. But creating a new blog layout is not one of them as in a spur of the moment, I have completed it. I've been pinching myself from prematurely unveiling it.
