unit 503

I've been wanting to move to a place closer to my office since my day 1 at  Chase. I started with a very odd schedule that starts at 3am and ends at the time of the day that i hated the most which happens to be 12nn. But then again I managed  the  3-4 hours travel time (back and forth) from our home to the office for officially one year. Then my priorities changed, I lost the guy i saw myself growing old with, new opportunities came in. And with Gods grace I got transferred to the department that I really want, I got the ideal boss I want, Teammates that i cant complaint anything about and a chance to go back to school and take up the course I really wanted. Because of all these blessings the advantages of moving to a place closer to the office weighted more than wasting my time on the travel hours.It was a tough choice, although I wasn't that close to my family, I always wanted to know how their doing or what they're eating or hows everybody. But decisions needs to be made.One fine morning I was on my way home when I decided to inquire on the new building that we always happen to pass by on our way home, the landlord showed me all the available rooms,amenities and perks of staying.My first impression was this is good...I take it back, this is great!. Free WiFi, spacious room and oh did I mention that our unit is on top of the building, at first it was a no-no because I would have to brave going up 5 floors everyday to get to our room but then again I didn't mind because right outside the room is a balcony, a spacious one...over viewing the city ( and our office) . I'm sharing the unit with 5 other girls, 5 of us working for the same company and then the other one working for one of our company's competitor, Bank of America ;). All the girls are cool, it may sound like there's so many of us (6) to fit in a studio type room but ironically that's not the case, because the unit is probably around 30 sq/m and we all have different schedule making it impossible to see each other everyday. It has its own bathroom and shower room and own mini kitchen, there's also a space in the middle of the room, a couch can be placed but we opt not to, because that might make the room look so crowded. We like it exactly how it is. I still miss my home, my family (which also surprises me) and my friends. Thank God there's weekends lol.... I'm so lookin forward on how things will be once the school year starts  :)
