Oh thank God I found a place! And it's awesome!. They had a room open up in the St. Andrew's College residence and against all expectation I slipped in on short notice! It's not very expensive at all, really (I &hearts religious people~) and it is going to be great.
It looks like the kind of situation that I could actually make new friends in. There's nineteen people staying there all year, sharing a common area and a kitchen. Each of the rooms is a single room, and I AM ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO HAVE PEOPLE STAY OVERNIGHT FOR THREE DAYS IN A ROW SO IF ANYONE WANTS TO COME FOR A WEEKEND, YOU CAN!
St. Andrew's is a college run by my church- the United Church of Canada. Soooo... well, let's just say that he minister who baptized me actually has an office on the first floor! He is the nicest guy ever and acted as a reference even though he moved years and years ago.
This all worked out and you have no idea how relieved I am. ...Mom refuses to let me take the tiny 14 inch TV from home to play video games on, so it looks like I'll have to expose my dorky RPG gamer side to everyone there. Oh welllll; maybe there'll be another dork there who I can play games with in our free time. Hee! xD
They were even willing to bend all sorts of rules to let me in. I was supposed to get two references to fill in this stupid large sheet, but two sentences from Rev. (Dr? Prof? I need to ask what he is, now.) Schweitzer was apparently sufficient proof that I won't have drunken orgies often. And I was supposed to give proof that I have a meal plan with the university (which I don't have yet, although I will get one!), but they let that slide, too. I'm moving in on Friday, although I'll technically be paying for both this apartment and my residence room for all of September.
I may even end up attending Sunday service, because the united church is pretty much the grooviest thing ever.
MY ROOM IS HUGE!
T_T S-so happy!
