Almost rented a house, then we rented a house

Yesterday we were millimeters from renting a house we probably would have regretted. It was extremely large, with a huuuge garden, and eventually we negotiated in all appliances, a TV and a couch, and a 10 month lease. BUT, and that turned out to be a big but, the old chinese couple that used to live there, would be moving in to the shed in the backyard, and that would have created problems at some point. It was also a pretty expensive house. The day before we were really keen on that house, so it was only the critical minds of the girls that kept us from signing the contract right there and then.

Instead we signed a contract on a smaller house with 5 bedrooms today. The rooms are quite large, but the common area is rather small. Its gonna end up a bit cheaper and with no one living in the garden. Its also a 2 minutes walk from campus, and close to a supermarket. The crap part of the deal is that we might not be able to move into the house for another 2 weeks, and we will have to do some tricks with out living arrangements.

But anyways, YAY! No more worrying about getting a place to live. We also made bank arrangements at school, so that is settled.
