it took me nearly six hours, but this flat is finally clean. who knew it'd take that long to only vacuum, clean the bathroom and wipe down surfaces? i am washing this all down with a lovely Monteith's cider. also, i think i'm drinking this too fast because it's almost halfway gone in the space of five minutes.

i'm quite sad to be leaving my flat. i took its cleanliness, natural light, peaceful silence (except for when my neighbours are having sex) and warmth for granted this year. i've only realised as i've been shifting stuff into my new flat, which is in contrast: dark, dingy and somewhat weird smelling. except i have no one to blame except myself because i was over looking for a flat.
ah well, it's only a year and i have a group of flatmates whom i'm excited to be living with. that being said, i've enjoyed living with H this year and i've learned so much from H. this year and i have no idea how we managed to keep the place warm and our bellies fed with smoked salmon, bacon and egg pie, countless ciders and Dice Days on a student budget. somehow it happened - but hey, i'll be saving $30/week next year and that's enough for me to buy a coffee every day, should i wish.

yay. student living. i cannot wait until i am earning a wage. poor J, stuck in a student flat with three other students. i can somehow understand his rage. if only he'd been willing to move up here with me in my current flat. but what is done is done, so that's my second-to-last year done here - in what was perhaps my favourite flat of the three different ones that i've lived in.
