So this is my 3rd year in Edinburgh and so far I
have lived in 3 different flats…
1st year I was staying at Student accommodation
through the University, which although it was VERY expensive, was a good way to
get to know other students from different countries and on different courses!
It was definitely worth the money, cause I still keep in touch with some of the
people that I met there, and would totally recommend it to anyone going to a
new country for studying.
2nd year I was renting with a close friend (that
I met in 1st year’s flat). Even though it might not have been the
best neighbourhood, it was a beautiful flat and a fantastic year! A lot of
great stuff happened that year, the best of course being that I met my better
half! J
3rd year came, and I moved into a shared flat
with this nice girl from Tajikistan. Compared to 2nd year though,
this flat is never going to as good and even though my flatmate is extremely
nice, there is just something missing…
Well, something is gonna change! My better half and I have
come to the decision that it is time for us to get our own place and so we have
decided to do just that!
Excited? Yes VERY!
Nervous? A wee bit I guess… But I have no doubt in my mind that it is going to
be FANTASTIC! J
The whole thing about packing and having to move all my
stuff is not really an appealing thought.. I have so much stuff and I have no
idea where it all came from, because when I came to Edinburgh I only brought
one suitcase and a backpack.. Oh well, you have to take the, in this case, VERY
good with the only kinda bad! Woohooo!
Soo… For the last 3 weeks we have been flat-hunting, which
has been exciting and at the same time very stressful; especially when viewings
that we had booked got cancelled, cause the person before us took it!! But Friday
was a VERY good day for us! We went for a viewing in the evening and the flat
was lovely, and to make the situation even better, BOTH of us loved it! Luckily
the landlady thought that we would be the perfect tenants, so we GOT IT!! J
So if references and everything else goes fine, we'll be moving in around mid-March! J
Nice isn't it?? I'm really looking forward to getting all of our stuff moved in and starting this exciting new chapter!!
