This must be very exciting for you. Living alone, despite the noise from upstairs neighbours, the first thing that I'm sure you will appreciate is the sudden peace and quiet that you normally don't get when living with other people. Less distractions, better opportunities to think and introspect... Enjoy it! Congratulations on the move. This must be very exciting for you.

That means when they walk around, if you have a boom, rumble, shake, and jingle, see if maybe you can eliminate some of those sounds on your own. For example, you probably can't do anything about the boom and rumble, but if the jingle is in your lamp, then you can maybe move it, change the kind of bulb it uses (incandescents are noisy and inefficient), or throw a blanket over it. If you have picture frames rattling, try putting them on a cushion or pillow if you don't have a dampenning rubber or plastic surface. The result will be that you will have fewer sounds to get used to (AND YOU WILL GET USED TO THEM) until you don't even notice them anymore.

It's a new beginning for you! And no internet means no distractions, which means no fun...oh well, at least your homeworks shall be done faster!

I find there are much better movies dealing with similar topics. Well, on the up side, having no internet means getting more work done =)
