new place

Despite only extending my internship period for about 3 weeks, I have to move to a new place (which fortunately is quite near to the old place). Initially I thought this doesn't make sense, as another intern student (my good friend Thomas) is staying put at his same place with an extension of more than 2 months. So why can't a 3 weeks extension be allowed to stay put as well?

Today, the answer surfaced. Apparently, there has been a mistake! :D The manager in charge of booking our new place confused me with Thomas! Well, I wasn't angry or anything, in fact i felt the situation was kinda funny :) So actually, Thomas has to pack within a day and move to the new place because he also only got to know today. Since I have already packed all my belongings, I offered for him to move to my old place , which is separated by 1 room in between. This would certainly be much more convenient, despite I having to move to a new place which is strategically less convenient than the previous place. But the solution is obvious. If I were to be selfish, it would highly inconvenient both parties, the manager in charge and also Thomas.

So we went according to the original *wrong* plan and save everyone the trouble. Well I can't say that I have a bad deal, at least I have a new , clean room, and poor Thomas has to live in my old room and take care of my dirt and dust... sorry!

In the bigger picture, I thought I am already quite fortunate to be living in this location, which is nearer to town. The new interns would have to move in to another far away place, which is nearer to the Office, but far away from town. I like this place and am thankful to be living here. It will be another 1 month and 10 days to go from now before I leave Japan, and I plan to cherish every minute of it.
