    My New Room

    I am now all adjusted in my room.

    I still need to get a plastic drawer set for my hair products. I can hang a mirror on the side of my little closet and use that as my dressing area. There is a plug on that side of the room, so it should work nicely.
    My bed is made, but it still needs the actual duvet. I currently only have the duvet cover on the bed as I forget the duvet at Callum's house.
    I had a lovely dinner which I made myself. I found the grocery store in my neighbourhood. Before I left Callum's village his mom took my to the grocery to get my "messages" (that's what they call groceries). But I still needed a few more things once I got here. My dinner consisted of a turkey sandwich, crisps (or what we call chips), and a Cadbury's trifle. The trifle was made of chocolate mousse, chocolate chips, and whip creme. YUMMY! Better than any chocolate pudding in America. The sandwich was divine as I found some French's mustard at the grocery. I didn't care how much it cost I was buying it. I'm sick of eating my sandwiches dry because I don't like English mustard.

    I have only met 2 roomies so far...one is from Iceland and one is from China. The Icelander's name is Thorhiltur...not sure how to say it now, but she said I can call her Tota. The Chinese girl's name is Apple. I am not kidding! I asked her if she knew of Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress. She said, "I do not know what you mean by actress." haha. Should be interesting! She also asked me to help her with something on her computer, but alot of it was in Chinese. I simply said "well I'm not quite sure what that says."

    Here are the beginning pictures. Will update once get the place all decorated!

    Oh my gosh girl - I would absolutely die in that small of a space. I think the language barrier is going to get you with your roomies. Should be fun. I was talking to some guy I know and he said that where you are is his favorite city in Europe!!! Kinda crazy...
