Oh, happy day!

Woo Hoo!!! So I had previously emailed the University Accommodation Office asking to get out of my lease early and I got a flat out no. I was over there today and thought I'd stop in and plead my case and maybe at least get out of the power/phone fees since I'd be moving out early anyway. So the boss was there and listened to what I had to say and he's letting me give them a 3 week notice and I'll be moving into De's on the weekend of Nov 17th!! So only 3 weeks with the dirty German boys that I'm suspecting use the bathroom sink to pee in!! Now I've got to find a vehicle and bedroom furniture...but De has a futon I can use until I find a bed I like. I'm so happy, oh, so happy!

I found out a while ago that they were rescheduling the cod fishing for the same weekend that I was going on the winery tour and that I'd have to wait until Feb to go again. So today, my fellow labmate, Clément, asked if instead of me waiting to go cod fishing in Feb through the rec center if I'd be interested in going with him and us finding 4 other people....hell, yes! What a great day!

I'm soaked to the bone right now...as I've been running around taking care of the flat situation, the loan deferment crap, shopping, ran up to my flat twice today....and it was pouring, hailing, and the wind was blowing so hard I was almost swept off my feet - really I was moving sideways while trying to walk! And no I've gotten nothing done work-wise.
