onefixedstarThe move went better than expected. We ended up getting the elevator after all, which made unloading relatively easy. Now I am without a bed and surrounded by large piles of boxes. I'm hoping to finish clearing most of them out by tomorrow and get the new bed delivered next week.
The new apartment is quite a bit nicer than the old one (which it should be since I'm paying nearly three times the rent). It's quiet and clean and freshly painted and most importantly, mould-free. I think I'll have a good year here, just as long as there are no more blackouts.
I stopped by my new department today. They gave me a large cheque, a TA position, and told me that I have until December to defend my thesis. All in all, I'd call it a successful day. Orientation begins next week. It looks quite elaborate for graduate school orientation, but most of it seems to be social events, so that's okay. Now I just have to dig up all of the papers they sent me so that I know where and when I'm supposed to be.
