Christmas Goodbyes

Ingrid, Me and Tonje
Vésele Vánoce!

Our good friends Pamela and Maria threw a Christmas/Going Away party last Friday night. I tore myself away from my studies and went to see them for the last time. It's sad that they are only here for a semester, I feel like I just met them and they are leaving already. But, I know that if I ever make it to Sweden, I'll have good friends to see!

Package!



Finally got my package! It had been sitting in customs for 2 months, but everything is just fine! It hasn't been opened, just a little crushed. Next time, let's not send so much in one box!

Myma sent me some Peanut Butteries but I think I'll pass on them this time. Just means I'll get more at Christmas time!



Antacid and Ibuprofen! Two surprisingly hard things to find. You have to go to a pharmacy to get any type of medicine and when mom sent me this package, I wasn't sure how to. I know now, but these are still very welcome.



Clothes! Warm Clothes! Jackets! Socks! Sweaters! I'm set for the next year and a half, that's for sure!

Moving Up




So I had some difficult times with my former roommate and I decided it was best for everyone if I just found another room. Luckily, a girl right across from Tonje was leaving the dorm and her bed was free. So I packed up all of my stuff in A2, which seems to have tripled since I got here in September, and moved it all over to A1. Right across from Tonje. My new roommate is Rachel, a Spanish girl who is Tonje's roommate's best friend. So we are all friends and spend most of our time going between rooms. Cooking dinner is much easier now that I don't have to carry half of my dishes to Tonje's room or vice versa, we can just hop across the hall!



I have a standing shower and a separate sink now! Still have to hold the shower head but at least I can stand up straight!


Kitchen. This is one of the "renovated" rooms that no one told me was an option when signing up for rooms. The kitchen is not bigger, just has a better set up and a new sink that's not filled with rust.

My new view. I can look out over Brno and I have a balcony!
