success!

I had a really productive weekend in Cambridge. I now have a place to live from late June until the end of September. This is great b/c it should give Jeddie and me enough time to find a place where we can both live come December. The room is in a nice family home in Newnham, the loveliest of the lovely places in Cambridge. The owner, just one woman lives there, is a medical doctor and she's going to South Africa and Indonesia for chunks of the summer. She needs someone to keep an eye on the house and tend the garden. She also has a 16 year old cat that needs to be fed. I'm a little nervous about the cat b/c it is so old. The rent is super cheap which is great b/c daily train tickets from Cambridge to London are not super cheap.

Also... I bought a bike. Now I can cycle all around Cambridge. It came with a lock, lights, and mud guards. I just have to fit it with a basket. I want a wicker, not metal basket. I also bought a helmet that has very small Chinese characters on it. You can't really see that it's Chinese writing unless you look closely. I'm not sure what it says.

Jed was a huge help in moving all of my stuff to Cambridge. He has welts on his shoulders from carrying a HUGE duffel bag on his back. We (Jed) only have to move that bag 2 more times this summer. Jed is also being really sweet and letting all of my stuff invade his room.
