"It's ooh so quiet, ssshhh, ssshhh, it's ooh so still."

"It's ooh so quiet, ssshhh, ssshhh, it's ooh so still."

Writing a post in my house, yep, I have internet already, who would have thought that? I recived a box with the modem and cables last week when we were busy with the laminate. I putted the box in the closet and left it there, cause I had other things to do. Today after being busy with my last moving and work I decided to have a little peek in the box, just to have a look.  Not even planning to connect the modem and try to get the internet working, cause I thought it would be a hell of a job. But actually  it wasn't, after reading the manual a few times I tried to put the cables into the modem, plugged it in and tadaa! The modem worked, I could connect the laptop with a wire but I could aswell type in a code  for wireless. And that worked aswell! Me was a happy man!

I was a busy day today but everything went well, the saying goodbye and signing out off Humanitas went suprising fast. I knew the signing out would be after 9:00, so I woke up early to grab my last stuff and moved it to the house. It was pretty much though, I thought I was done but, blimey, I went three times back and forth with my bike. I was nice on time back for the coffee break at 9:15, I drank a coffee and talked with a few residents. There wasn't really a goodbye atmosphere, we just talked about how are weeekend was. In about twenty minutes later I got back to my room to get the borrowed dishes and cooking stuff, they have to be delivered back, or I can buy them. I will get aswell a 'room check' to see if everything is clean and everything is on place and not stolen.

I'm not a thief though, but some residents borrow sometimes stuff, and then forget to bring things back. I walked in the office after I delivered the basket with dishes and cooking stuff, somehow it seemed that the secetary and I were kinda lost. It looked like it wasn't going by plan, Barbara (the secetary) asked me if my room wass empty and if I got all my stuff, I told her that I only have to unpack the fridge but I would  get that later. I didn't know how long the signing off would take, so. Barbara didn't understand, so I explained it again, it was so simple though. After the signing off I will have to get in my room to get my food out of the fridge, and then I will leave. Barabara finally got it, and we went further with the signing off. My money on the 'humanitas account' will be transfered to my ING account, that will take a few days.

Barabara had a list for me with what I could buy from what I have  borrowed from Humanitas the last eight months, I bought bed sheets, and three  cooking pans just like I had planned. Not everything was for sale on the list though, it was aswell a list to check if all borrowed stuff was still there, (Eeek!) There's so much borrowing going around at Humanitas, I'm sure I will miss something from that borrowed stuff. What I miss will have to be payed, silly I know, but okay. "Everything will be taking care off, you will hear from us I'm sure," said Barabara, "I'm sure too, it's not really a goodbye," I replied. I can always drop by for a coffee. I shooked some hands with some staff members and that was it, one last time to my room to get my fridge stuff, and off I went. I got my bike and closed the gate, a bit akward feeling though, I didn't even looked back. I was busy and was planning to go to work, just like I had planned. 

It's goodbye to the building, but I'm sure I will meet some old residents again and the staff members aswell.  This city isn't that big. I went to the house for my last moving, just two bags, and then it was off to work. It was still early though, I thought the signing off would take much longer. Arrived at work it was all the same ol' same ol', the same people and the same work. I like it though, nice having work in the same city where I live, same people, it feels good. After work I went not to Humanitas but to my house, akward feeling? Yeah, just a bit. But the quitness and the feeling I could rest whenever I want feels great, I will sure miss them though, the residents, and surely the loudness and the many visits to my neighbors. That's why it nice I can see them sometimes at work or perhaps when we go out.

The first few months it will be like that I guess, but it might be that that will vanish too someday, I don't mind. While writing this post, I realize that it would be nice that I get some nice curtains and lamps as soon as possible. It's dark in here and I opened the bathroom door, putted there the light on to get some light in the livingroom. And curtains? I unfolded a sheet and hanged it in front of the window in the sleeping room. I sure need still some things, but that will come in time.
