I had finally decided what new hairstyle I wanted, so I went by a hairdresser, trying to make an appointment for later that day. But they had a spot right away! Only downside was that my mom had to wait, but she was alright with that, she just went back to my place (and had a nice long nap).
Than I got a call from a realtor, responding to my email about an apartment that was available. Ok, this might need some explaining... I have been looking for a new place for several months. I had originally decided to stay in Breda after I was done with school, but I just couldn't find anything. Not something I could afford. So recently I had the thought: why not expand the search to Heerlen? It's where I used to live with my mom and she still lives there. It not the best city for Graphic Design work, but it's really cheap! So if necessary, I could always travel for work. He told me a bit about the place and asked me a few questions. I guess we both had a good feeling about it, because he asked 'I suppose you'd like to see the place?' and so we made an appointment for the next day.
So first I had my hair cut and dyed.. to black and short! I have to get used to it a little bit, but I'm really happy with it!
When I was done, my mom came back to the city (she's so awesome!) and we went to lunch. After a little shopping, I bought these amazing earrings and hair clips. Yay! I can accessorise again :) we went back to Heerlen.
In Heerlen we ate at Mc Donald's and spend the rest of the night on the couch, watching TLC (women's tv station). The next day we did a little bit more shopping, I was looking for a new summer-jacket and found this cutie on the sale-rack at Esprit. Still not cheap (€40,00), but I really like it! We also bought an awesome long skirt for my mom and a supersweet blouse with kittens for me :)
Then it was noon, we met with the realtor and the owner of the building, and looked at the place. It looked a bit smaller than I imagined, but still huge! It's almost twice as big as the place I live in now! It has an old fashioned but fine bathroom, separate toilet, bedroom with a HUGE build-in closet. Living room with balcony, etcetera, etcetera...
Plus, even better.. they're going to spruce up the place (paint the walls and a new kitchen)! I would have been happy with this, but ok.. I'm not saying no to that!
The realtor told me there was somebody else who was also interested, but hadn't let them know if he wanted the place or not. But if he did, the owner would have to decide and this cute, old man pointed at me and told him, he preferred me for a tenant. So I just said, yes please and guess what.. I'm moving 1 July 2012!!! Yay!
And last, but so not least.. I can have a little kitty!!! The previous owner had one too, but had to give it away, because the cat walked on his neighbours balconies and they complained. So I have to be alert that won't happen. I decided to start with just one and if she gets lonely I'll consider getting another one.
I'm so happy, everything is falling into place. I can now start organising everything, browse on the IKEA website, look for a job, etcetera.. and ONLY worry about graduating, because the most important thing after that, is taken care of.
