YIPPEEEE! I finally found an apartment of my own! I signed the lease on saturday night and moved in sunday! I have three roommates, a girl from Virginia (Lydia), a girl from Amsterdam (Cat) and a guy from France (Romain). I found a posting online on an expat website from Cat and Lydia just looking for a third roommate because they had been not been able to find a two person apartment in the neighborhood they wanted at the price they wanted. Then we found a 4 bedr...

I really cant believe that it has almost been two months that I've been here!!! This past month has really really flown by incredibly fast! I'm liking it here more and more everyday.

I've got to be honest and say that I've been experiencing quite a bit of homesickness. I just miss all my friends and family so much! Especially my adorable little grandma.
