New Place

Got a new place downtown. Nice cute little place. It ain't much, but it's mine! My first place actually, which kinda feels good.

Bought a bunch of furniture from Ikea which I had to cram into my tiny compact rental which much to my suprize fit! Had to install everything on my own.

I am spoilt, I am used to leisure and luxury, but I never really thought that a makwagy was luxury! I never imagined that furniture delivery was luxury! Very small things keda that you always did people here frown upon! Making an illegal u-turn, having help around the house, that sort of stuff - nothing here like that, you're on your own!

There is something wrong with my address, seems like the previous tentant requested a cancellation of his cable and when I requested cable on the same address it seemed to have completely fucked up the system. Now I have to wait a week for the service to be activated. So basically I'm now stuck with free-to-air channels, which sucks - but hey, at least I have internet...

The heater in my apartment seems to be broken and I am practically melting here! Tried to call the superintendant and got voicemail. Crap.

Getting on the Roller Coaster

You know when you're in the queue waiting to get on the roller coaster? Those 30 minutes or so seem like forever. You're standing in line, you're frightened and excited. The seconds seem like minutes, the minutes like eternity. You see people getting off the roller coaster on the other side, some are thrilled, some are throwing up, and it scares you.

The ride seems so cool and exciting, but it's scary because you just don't know how steep and fast it is. You can't imagine it, but you can see yourself on the ride.

That's pretty much my life these days. I've been in the queue now for ages and I just want to get it over with.

5 days to go.
