I found a way to stop the wind-tunnel effect and significantly reduce traffic noise: Shut the windows ha! It is actually a really quiet building. Have heard my most immediate neighbour opening and shutting his door and a cough in the hallway and a couple bumps of muffled closet slammings, but that is all. But it is the middle of exams right now so possible that neighbours really just aren't talking in their rooms / turning on their tv's etc.
There is this air extractor in the bathroom that runs constantly... It is really surprisingly very effective at stopping the shower from steaming things up and getting smells out. Apparently it will clear smoke from burning food / toast and steam from the kettle if any of those happen to set off the fire alarm in my room, too. Just don't open the door to set off the floor alarm unless you really mean to.
The weirdest thing is that there are two apartment blocks fairly close... And around 1/3 of the people wander about in them with their lights on and their curtains / blinds wide open. I feel like a perv watching them watch TV or read or... Watch me back lol. I suppose you just know that if your curtains are open then people may be watching... I feel... Kind of exposed. But I kind of have an urge to purchase some binoculars, too. I wonder what that man is doing, jumping around oddly like that. I'm not entirely sure I want to know... Some of those apartments over there seem nicely decorated...
I really have never lived in a city before. Or spent much time in cities... It is reminding me a lot of hanging out in Sydney with (((Damos)))
I know it is weird since I'm meant to be moving to an upgrade and all come December... But I kind of feel like I want to stay here... Though it is a pain without a cook top... And we don't seem to have freezer space available to us anywhere.
Anyway... Sorry to bore people with minutae of my life lol. I just... Still feel I'm dreaming, rather.
Going to email supervisor today. Seeing T on Thursday. I think... I'm going to trek out to keep seeing her for a bit. Will take some time to set things up here. And... Well... I think I will miss her. They... Supported me to get this. (((Team)))
Maybe... Just maybe... This country ain't so f*ck*ng bad after all. Except for the douche bag personal trainer teaching his client to f*ck about in the squat rack *talking about squats* making it hard for me to jump in to do chins on the *only straight grip chin up bar* in the whole f*ck*ng gym. Grr... Patience. I must learn patience. Grr...
