Work rant aside (see my previous post) I am enjoying living in a big city, something to tick off the bucket list now huh!
I am strangely enough enjoying the walk to and from work each day, and unsurprisingly to me I get frustrated on days I need to take the bus as it takes almost as long. The one rant I do have is how long you have to wait for the traffic lights if you get them when they just go red! The walk is approximately 25-30minutes depending on how quickly I walk which is largely dependent on if I am running late, if I have my iPod in and my choice of shoes that morning.
The things you need to remember when it’s too hard to go home and back in a lunch break if you forget something can be a little frustrating but all a learning experience, note to self, I really should have a phone charger at work and one at home as my phone is rather useless and if I leave the internet turned on it dies every day if not charged the night before.
Living together is working out, we haven’t killed each other (yet – jokes), nor has the urge arisen (from my end at least, ha!) and while there are still things we are learning about each other and I guess learning to live with someone again, I think we are doing pretty well. Other than my random teary freak out in the first week (seriously WTF, I will not get used to this happening and hope being up here will put an end to that), it feels like home being up here.
We have signed a tenancy agreement and move into our new apartment in just under two weeks’ time and I can’t wait! It will be nice to have something a little bigger, even though it’s still only a small one bedroom apartment. I am very lucky in that it is literally just around the corner from my work and at a guess around 1km from the gym. There are heaps of yum looking places to eat near the apartment and it will be nice to sit outside in the courtyard in the summer.
The gym is better than I expected for a gym in a big city, last time I went to a gym up here it was jam packed and I didn’t really enjoy it at all. We’ve been to this gym straight after work a few times now and while it’s busy it’s not unbearable which is good.
I am looking forward to getting out and exploring what this city I now call home has to offer, now we just need a spare weekend to begin exploring!
