Today I received an e-mail notification that my place in the International student dormitory on Raatuse 22 has been reserved. This seems like the last tremendous hurdle that might have complicated our relocation to Tartu, and having it overcome is a great relief. They have not yet confirmed that T and I will be sharing the a double room, rather than having assigned both of us to other, same-sex roommates, but I think this is almost sure to work out. They know that I will not be a student this year, and I referred to him in all of my communications with the "Student Village", so I'm sure it's fine. My work for the quarter, year, and in fact the entirety of my undergraduate education, is complete. I am free to pursue whatever reading strikes my fancy (when I'm not slaving away at Target), and I am not nagged by the constant sense of having neglected some important project. It's nice, relaxing in a way.
I will be glad to resume my studies next year. In the mean time, Terry Eagleton's Introduction to Literary Theory is introducing me to literary theory.
I did a Google image search for "Raatuse 22" and saw some unsurprising photos of smallish dormitory rooms. Two twin beds, kitchen and bathroom shared with three other bedrooms. Not bad, though a little less privacy than I'm used to. I guess I'll have to get a bathrobe.
Do they have bacon?
