Day7- Monday Evening July 30th

 Resuming Monday Evening . . .
I ended up hand-washing some things too, since the tub is so huge. I didn't have anywhere to hang them all, so they are currently decorating my bathroom. After I finished the wash, I studied more Japanese and took a shower. While I was in the shower, I thought I heard someone knocking, but it was 9:30 so I thought it was just my imagination. Then, I heard the phone ring. When I got out of the shower, I looked outside my door and found a paper saying that there was a message from my boss :(  I immediately got dressed and went down. Apparently she'd stopped by and I felt so bad that I missed her. I think she came to pay for the rest of the nights that I would be staying at the hotel, because the note read that I CAN MOVE INTO MY APARTMENT BY THURSDAY! I think that this is a fairly clear indication that I officially have the job, since I don't think that they'd move me into the apartment only to move me back out again, but you never know. My contract does say that they reserve the right to dismiss the contract if by Aug. 7th they decide for some reason they don't want me. I think this is more of a safety precaution though in case I am a really bad employee, so I think I'm safe. I still worry though, especially since I didn't go down to meet her, but I hope that it'll be ok. I'm so happy to hear that I can stop living out of my suitcases! I get tired of dragging them out of the closet just to get clothes for the day. This place is so small that I have to drag it in front of the door in order to even open my suitcase! They are very kind though, and I'm thinking of giving some of the gifts that I brought to the hotel staff, but I'll see when I start work tomorrow if I'll need them for my co-workers instead.
