I've had a very unique living situation since I moved to my new apartment about a week ago. Yes, I've moved in with strangers before (I'm looking at you, Karen Salerni), but I've never had to consult a dictionary in order to understand what one of my roommates is saying. Except maybe that one Halloween when Erin had a few too many and caused me to look at Winnie the Pooh in a whole new way (had to be there, sorry). Anyway, I'm now living in Barrio Gotico (the Gothic neighborhood) with a really nice couple, Laura and Gus, and a French girl named Florense who's in an exchange program at the University. Laura and Gus own the flat and have gone out of their way to make me feel comfortable, from letting me use their computer to talk on Skype to leaving dinner in my room when I was up late, and making it Gus' personal mission to get my internet up and running. He had my laptop next to his computer with a Spanish website up so he could figure out the translations of the English computer terms on mine. Not easy.
You might recognize this as the plaza in the main picture of my page. I can't take credit for that one, but I took some of my own since it's really close to my new apartment.
I'll take pictures of my room and inside the apartment soon, even though I'm pretty sure no one is dying to see them, except maybe my mom and anyone who is planning a visit.
Top picture: Sign on my floor ("third"), which you can only reach after climbing way too many stairs. Since I live in the Gothic neighborhood there's no elevator, but it works out since I'm too cheap/poor/busy to have a gym membership.
