To finish off day 19 first: Salim arrived to collect me and my belongings and it turns out that he knows Cecily from Uni! Small world.
Moved all my bags into my new room, which is much bigger than I remembered and then instantly got distracted by the kitten! He is called Oscar and he is very cute, I will send pictures to prove it soon. No time to unpack or sort anything out as there was a CS BBQ party to go to, which I invited Salim to as well. It was a really nice little party with some people I'd met before and some I hadn't.
The next morning I had to get up bright and early for my first Saturday shift at the Running Room. As I haven't bought any food yet, I got up extra early to look for somewhere for breakfast and found a lovely place near the corner of Whyte avenue (where all the hipsters and students hang out). I spent most of the day moving shoe boxes around and kinda enjoyed it really, although by 6:30 my feet were starting to ache.
Cecily and Sascha picked me up from work to take me to Ikea to get more things for my room and I bought them meatballs as a thank you, they also got to meet Oscar. As it was quite late by the time we got back from Ikea, I only made my bed, set my laptop up (and still need to figure out how it works!) and finally signed the lease, although I still haven't paid the deposit yet as it's all been so rushed. unpacking etc. can wait until tomorrow.
