Change of plans

Yesterday when the landlady from the first ridiculously expensive and small studio e-mailed me the contract and what insurance documents and proof of address and god knows what else she wants I was a bit like omg, why why why. I understand that she wants to be sure that we'll actually pay her but still, french bureaucracy is killing me. Read through the contract that said that it's basically a basement room in her house... sounds charming right... So we'd be living in the basement, in someone elses house, would be sharing the front door and corridor with them, we wouldn't be allowed to have friends over without asking first and the kitchen corner was just a fridge with a little hotplate on it + a sink and a tiny worktop... sounds charming right? Dream come true... well that was all we had because no one else had answered the e-mails we sent.

Then a miracle happened :D!!!!!! First someone in really broken french said that their studio would be available and it was a lot cheaper and looked a bit nicer though we only could see a picture of the bed :D but already that looked better :D Yay a ray of hope. Then an even better thing happened!! Remember in the last post I whined about a better studio that we didn't get? She wrote to me apologizing for not having the internet for a while and said we could have it!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!! It's so much better and bigger, omg I love it and I'm now so glad we had that trouble with airbnb in paying for the first stupid studio, because otherwise we probably wouldn't get our money back... I'm so happy right now :) :):):):):):):) Now I just have to write to the first landlady soz, suck it :D lol no, because she seemed really nice, and I kinda feel bad cancelling but hey, the other one has the same rent and is closer - an hour walk away from my work, so a win for us :)

PS! all my clothes and shoes are now packed so it doesn't look as gloomy as it did thinking about it earlier :D we might look like two mountains of luggage but at least we'll get to Paris by Sunday with most of my stuff :)

Happy days :)

Ttyl ;)
