why wy?

finally moved into my place. It's about 20 min from town, and 40 min to school, by public transport. Am currently typing on a chair, as I still need to get a dining table. House is now partially furnished, which is nice. Bought a really dinky coffee table, and you never realise how great ikea furniture (and instructions) are until you have to put one of these together. Instead of having screw in bits, it had a hole in the wood, a minature plastic cup with grooves to fit into the hole, and another screw to put in. I actually had to jump to get the plastic cups into the wood. Where's bigjoe when you need him, that's what I wanna know. Another first: using my rock-climbing equipment. Yes, I used a sling and two biners to carry the box the coffee table came it. Now that it's all fixed, I just hope it doesn't collapse.

The good news is that my place is just besides a bridge, and I noticed that it has bouldering potential, cos it is built with bricks that have all sort of edges. Will give it a shot one day and hope the neighbours don't complain. There is also a good jogging/cycling trail by the river nearby, so the plan is to go there at least five times this year. You know how it is when facilities are near, you just end up not going.

Point of interest: One of the other places I had my eye on had a memorable address, 7/11 Street name. But I didn't get it, thus ending a potential supply of bad jokes. Am now on the hunt for someone to share this place with, I don't need two bedrooms anyway. So if you know anyone coming over... yell.
