We found a place!

We did it! We found a place! Our application was accepted so Laura is currently signing the lease, paying the deposit and first month and getting the keys!

The cabin is small - it is only one room (probably 10 x 12). It has a kitchenette - a mini fridge, microwave, stove top and sink. It is a dry cabin (no running water whatsoever), and the outhouse is actually shared with other cabins. Luckily, we are one of the closest cabins to the bathroom - but still far enough away not to smell it. It is also the most secluded cabin in the group. We plan on being here short term - moving into something new between the 1st and the 21st of September. I think the most important thing is that I will have a place to stay when Laura goes away for the weekend.

Cabins are normally set up for more modern technologies than silly little things like showers, toilets and water. So we will have electricity and WiFi - we just won't know how good it is until we go check the place out. Since it comes with WiFi, I assume it is an open, shared network between the community of cabins, meaning it could be a very weak connection. So, depending on how the internet is, I'll spend my weekend alone either watching TV and browsing the internet, or reading and doing crosswords. Either way I only plan to leave the cabin to use the toilet. The toilet seems a bit scary....

Today we will unload the car so that it doesn't sink to the ground. We will also go grocery shopping and get loads of water. Then we very well may continue our search for a better cabin to move into.

We were very lucky that Laura's adviser let us stay with him for three nights. We were even able to shower, which won't be so easy from now on. I personally think showering is overrated and don't plan on doing it that often... ;) But luckily we were able to get by without having to camp! And now we have our own place. Yay!

I will post pictures today if our internet connection is good. If it isn't I'll have to wait until we're back on campus for meetings tomorrow. Bye bye!

PS. It is odd that we have only been here for 4 nights, because it feels like we've been here forever - not necessarily in a bad way. The road trip already seems like it was ages ago, especially when I see old things in the car from the road trip and think - oh yea, that just happened, didn't it?
