I am moved into my place and mostly unpacked. My mother bought me a nearly excessive amount of food which means I can put off grocery shopping for a day or so. I set up the router for internet, and noticed that Nadya left her power cord behind for hers. I'll e-mail her.
I met one of my neighbors so far. She's an adorable Korean girl. We chatted a bit last night and this morning she gave me some tea (I also gave her the new network name and password for our internet--whoops. Will have to slide a note under the other girl's door).
It's a nice place. Small room, shared bathroom, but the room is open enough that I don't feel crowded (kind of like living in a dorm room again), and it seems like I just have to find the patterns the other two girls have and simply fit mine in when it comes to the bathroom.
I do miss my family. It was so nice to see them yesterday and spend time with them. I'll be going to Belmond in June, but still.
I just realized I typed Belmond instead of home. It isn't that this room feels like home (though it's much closer than the dorms ever were), but now I know Belmond no longer is. I suspect home will be the new place in August, where I won't feel like the entire place is just transitional (like this room feels).
