As the title indicates I’ve upgraded to the new version of WordPress and I’m trying it now. I’ll have to see what the great features are in this version. I know that they were having some last-minute problems with tags but we’ll see whether they resolved those.<\/p>\n

Aside from changing browser today I also started looking for an apartment as I am so tired of the noise made by drink fueled students. I’m not against drinking but I am against the noise they make every single day that they are at home. Why not have a bottle of wine between friends and chat for hours.<\/p>\n

Why does everyone have to lose grip on reality? Is life that terrible for them?<\/p>\n

Back to the upbeat stuff.<\/p>\n

Flat hunting as a solitary person is great for a number of reasons, firstly complete freedom. You have the freedom to live anywhere that interests you, without taking other people into consideration. Of course, I do look at everything according to tube lines and distance. The closer to the center I can be better. Another consideration, of course, is to find people whose company I enjoy living with.<\/p>\n

A good home is a perfect place from which to cope with the struggle that job hunting will be in the next few weeks and months, as they flow by.<\/p>\n

There are three flats that I am already scheduled to visit and I may look for a few more during the day tomorrow. The more I visit the more informed the decision.<\/p>\n

The first phone call is always the hardest. I was struggling so much in fact that I forgot about one flat and started sending out two or three e-mails in the hope that through the writing of applications I would clarify within my mind what it is I wanted to communicate.<\/p>\n

That served me well. Within three phone calls, I had already summoned far more courage and I’ll keep looking whilst I have the time.<\/p>\n

I need to draw up a list of the things that are important to me for when I get to the flat, to make sure not to forget something that would influence my enjoyment of this new phase in my life.<\/p>\n

I’ve got till the second but if I’ve got an agreement by the second of June I’ll be much happier.<\/p>\n

–I wrote this post whilst listening to Chopin. Second time in as many days that I listen to this. A change in personality or expectations? Time will decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
