We arrived alive late Saturday night! The basement apartment Alex and I are calling home is rather spacious. We're pretty excited. It's a bit cold though, and the tile flooring isn't all that nice to walk on. But it'll be nice in the summer!
The following day, I was woken up early by the loud stomping of Sammy, Anya, and Ramsay the kids who live above us, and their parents Magdie and Lisa pleading with them to settle down. Aside from the rambunctious mornings, they're a nice family. Sunday was spent driving around with Brian and Donna (Alex's parents) picking up groceries and a few other neccessities.
Monday! Alex's first day on the job. It was boring, so he tells me. They didn't have a password set up for him yet, so all he did was read documentation all day long. Funny thing was when he got to RIM, they asked him if he was supposed to be in Waterloo. (They had sent a bunch of first time co-ops to orientation in Waterloo earlier that morning) The people at RIM eventually figured out where he's supposed to be.
Donna, Brian and I spent the day finding a table, chairs and cushions for the apartment so it looks less bare. We found a nice pine coffee table, and some wicker-esque chairs to go with it. Good finds.
We had a great dinner once Alex arrived home around 5:30, prepared by Brian and Donna. I don't think we'll be eating quite as well now that they're gone, but it'll be healthy nonetheless.
Currently, I'm at the library as we don't have internet access just yet. (I'm looking into that today) I got lost trying to find my way here, but that's expected. I printed off a bunch of resumes, but I screwed them up somehow and my name according to the 8 copies I made is MelissMelissa. Damn, time to add more money to the card, then it's time to go job hunting.
