So this has been a week of moving into the apartments after school. It started with cleaning the place on Tuesday after I got the key. That was a good two hours of work, also that night I got my rugs in and my dinner room table, wardrobe, and coffee table delivered. It was a long night since the guys came out here at nine at night to deliver then stayed to put it together. He was here until about midnight putting it together and then he headed off on foot, back to the store.Wednesday was when another big chunk of the furniture came in. That night we had my stove, ridge, and couches delivered. I was lucky enough to find an electric stove out here so I don’t have to worry about hooking up the gas line. I also started moving in the things from the hotel. I figured the more I moved during the week the better it was once the big move came. Oh also at school on Wednesday my student preformed for the morning celebration they call it. We did the classic head, shoulders, knees and toes. It actually went really well, I think that the teachers were really surprised to see me standing there performing with my students.
Thursday, last day of classes, went fast it seemed I think since I was ready to get to the apartment and get everything moved. I was really surprised that everything came Thursday night. My bedroom set, washer, TV, desk, and chair. It took a while, but Home Centre where I got most of it from where good and got everything put together without a problem. I also had my first home cooked meal in two months. It was great, yes I made pasta, but it was some of the best pasta I have had. After that I end up taking Gayle to the hospital, since she cut her hand open, two stitches, but it was still bad. I also found out that the DVD player that the guys at Carrefour told me would work didn’t, so off to get a different one.
Friday, everything is out of the hotel and I am checked out. I am officially moved into my apartment and now living here full time. Gayle and I started the morning moving everything into our places and then headed to Mustsaffa Carrefour to get some things we needed. It was a nice trip and I ended up getting almost everything that I had on my list, the only thing I still need to find is cookie sheets, so I can bake chicken nuggets (although I am thinking about getting a deep fryer). After getting back from Carrefour, where I got another DVD player which works this time, I ended up being able to unpack all but one of the suitcases I brought and the one that I didn’t unpack is all school stuff in it. I will probably be going through it tomorrow for idea when I am writing my lesson plans. Then we headed back out to the industrial area to show another teacher where the place where to get some good cheap furniture and rugs. Now I am back in my place and about to go had some ice cream so until next time.
