I actually got to look around the place today and someone showed me her room. The building is a lot bigger than I thought. I think there is even a hole in the middle with trees etc so a lot of the rooms look out on that aspect instead of the road. The sun was coming in the windows... There was enough room to stretch out lengthways along the windows on the floor (I quite like to work like that). And she had a studio... I think the deluxe ones are a bit bigger again... It would need to be kept tidy... But it didn't feel cramped.
It was a bit of a rabbit warren inside... Heaps bigger than I thought it would be. Spacious. Felt solid the way older buildings feel solid (not like the brand new made of paper crap that passes for construction these days). Some weird softish concrete block look alike internal stuff... Felt like it was an attempt at internal soundproofing... There was a study room but she didn't have access to it... Communal areas looked deserted...
I'm so happy. So very very very very happy.
Figuring out how soon I can move in...
I think... I signed something to the advocate person... So she can access my information and act on my behalf. She was casual about it so I just signed it... I think... Maybe... She has contacted the Uni Accom people about me... They did something so I had to go in and see them today (meeting me again) basically... I think they kept a few different options open for me in case different things happened with Work and Income. And when I went to the place... There was something about how I couldn't move in early because I wasn't an enrolled student
HERE WE GO AGAIN
But then - oh, no, It is okay...
Whatever.
I will work as hard as I can. I swears.
And I will find this post later when the going gets tough.
I am so very privileged to be given this opportunity to just focus on my studies... How many years of civilization was required for anybody to have this opportunity? MOst still don't have it. I am very privileged indeed.
