Alright, so in the last post I mentioned a potential house, which we looked at on Tuesday. Frankly, the place was terrible on the inside, plus we were viewing the place with another 2 group of students who were also interested in renting it. Awkward!! Anyway, we dropped that and kept looking, and finally.. we found one that fits almost perfectly into the puzzle. It's not too far from campus (like 2-3 blocks away) plus the rent is pretty low.. and the place looks something like...
The front
The living room
The kitchen
And of course.. the all important looThere's also a huge backyard at the back of the place, and everything looks neat, except that it's a little small, but I figure it's fine since each of anyhow end up getting more space than we do currently in on-campus double rooms. The major problem would be laundry, as we would need to walk down a block to get to the Laundro-Mat, and it'd be kinda awkward carrying laundry along the streets.. All in all, we saw it as a good place and we've just paid a portion of the deposit and began the paperwork.
There's a Mc Donald's really nearby, and lots of other restaurants nearby too (China Chef, White Castle, KFC, Subway, Pizza Hut, Church's Chicken etc etc). To add to this, Jewel supermarket is just a block away! Pretty convenient I'd say. Other than the size, the laundry problem and the fact that there's only ONE bathroom for all of us, I don't think one can have any qualms about the place.
My first IPRO experience is officially over, as it concluded with IPRO Day on Friday. I really learnt a lot during the course of the project, and it sure was fun working with the amazing bunch of individuals in the group. Sadly, our efforts and hard work wasn't good enough to win us prizes in the eye of the judges, although a lot of us if not all believed we deserved at least something. However, the prizes weren't the bigger picture and at the end of it all, the rich experience we've all gained through the project is the most valuable prize of all.
This coming week shouldn't be too bad.. not all that many assignments, and one finals.. but it's just Industrial Psychology. Hehe. I will have to start preparing for the other finals though. Should be mighty 'fun'! The next post would be slightly delayed (probably on Wednesday, the 14th) due to my final exams, and it would most probably be my last post before I fly home. Till then, tata!
