Moved in!
After staying for 4 days at Mark’s place which was very nice, ignoring the small bed I have moved into my own place. Orientation week and such has kept me away from writing for a while since I basically got home, went to sleep, woke up and left again but now classes are starting so it’s back to normal. More on orientation week and dying my hair pink later.
It took 2 trips to bring everything here without much squishing. My stuff fits in rather nicely and I prefer rolling out of bed onto my chair to having to walk across the room to get there. Desk and bed took a bit of time to build and fit in but now it’s nice and cozy.
We were going to go with Teksavvy for our internet, 5Mb down/200GB limit/$30 but they could only deliver 512kb here so we are going to go with Rogers, 10Mb down/95GB limit/$60.
I say going with because right now I’m stealing wireless from across the street and 4 houses down. Rogers is backed up until the 19th. So after some great router positioning skills and a lot of patience I managed to “liberate” an unsecured connection that’s rather fast and good enough for anything but gaming. 1.5-2 second ping just doesn’t seem to work when playing games.
We lost water for a few hours on the second day, didn’t have a shower curtain until the 4th day and still lack good food supplies but I’m sure it will be a great term!
