So, let me tell you.... I've been looking for a place to live in Guelph for the next few years and my goodness it's difficult. Last year, I found it a lot easier to find a place (not a great place, but a place none the less). But this year, the area that I want to live is not the area that people are trying to find roommates for. I want an apartment by myself, but my mother doesn't like that idea and yelled at me for even thinking of it. So I've been looking for a place with randoms, which is going to be a little weird, but I guess it's a little better. Don't know why, but I think it is... I hope it is!
This year I'm being extremely picky because I want to make sure that the place I have, is a place that I'll be happy living in and won't be "ashamed" of to show my friends. Like this year, I don't particularly like the house, actually I find it quite craptastic and by quite I mean ultra. Some of my friends want to come over and see my place, but I just say "No. It's too ugly to show people."
So far I have just been reading the descriptions of places and judging if I would like to live there or not. And I use the word judging because I can't really think of an appropriate word in terms of "is that a good area?", "is it close to everything?", "is it far from school?", "what's the price and is including utilities?" and all of that jazz. I guess it's just those normal questions that people should be asking, but I didn't really think of it that much last year. I just went with wherever Bryan and Mike wanted to live... turns out I have totally regretted living there... oh well! I've e-mailed two people and am going to be seeing one place tomorrow at 4pm and the other 2 pm on Friday.
The one tomorrow is in an apartment building with a girl... Don't know how my parents are going to feel about that, but as of right now I don't really care. I'm hoping that it's going to be a nice place. The girl is going to 3rd year zoology and wants to be a vet as well, so that'd be pretty cool. It's a ten minute walk to campus, right beside my church, right behind the mall and by two grocery stores. Plus all of my friends live in that area, so I don't have to go all the way across Guelph to see them and then have to walk home for an hour because I left their place after the buses stopped running anymore. It's just a little irritating when that happens almost every weekend. The other place is with 3 guys, in a house with a pool and hot tub and dishwasher and I'd get the master bedroom with walk-in closet... a quadruple score I must say... so I'm hoping that either of these houses will be the one.
That's all I have to say about this house business... I just want it to be over with so I don't have to worry and stress over it anymore...
latex and all that stuff (my new phrase)
