Housing: Part 2

Hello~

So, yesterday me and Becca went on several potential residence tours. We saw a town house, some apartments and some three story buildings. After all the tours were completed, we were stuck between our top two choices: 202 Lester and 265 Regina. 202 Lester is really close to campus, it's a new 12 story apartment building with gorgeous amount of living room space. Unfortunately, the rent is a little pricey = $545 + $10 internet fee (estimated). 265 Regina is a little more run down, the building is older, a couple of mail boxes are missing locks but the tour guide showed us the exact room we would be getting, and it's very homely. The rent is much more reasonable = $395 + $56 internet fee for the year. However, it's not walking distance and we would have to bus to campus everyday. *QQ* I don't like the bus system here... but it is free! so I can't complain. Oh, speaking of the tour guide, he had the MOST gorgeous eyes I have ever seen. Me and Becca could not stop staring at him/them. We had him for several tours as well, so we got to admire them over a period of time ;)

After our tours, we had dinner with Becca's brother, Andrew, at Swiss Chalet. (We wanted to use a coupon there but we missed the expiry date by a day!) He's a student at UW as well, in his third year. His advice was to go with the 265 Regina, just because he felt as though the rent for the 202 Lester was too high. At the moment, me and Becca are definitely leaning towards the 265 Regina. We're waiting on our friend, Cindy, to give us her reply though. Since it's a 3 ppl suite, if she says no, we will have to find someone else. X3 I hope she says yes! I really like Cindy and she seems like a good house mate to have. 3 more hours until her reply... until then! I'm going to go attempt to start my CS 100 assignment #2. Bleh, more Excel... as if the first one wasn't bad enough!

Oh, and I'm at Jae's atm... :) Steak dinner tonight *love love* I'm so happy that my boyfriend is a good cook. He brought me breakfast in bed this morning, pancakes and maple syrup = delicious!!!
