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!

Dorm Life...

Here are some pictures of my super exciting dorm room. I still don't have a roommate and these pictures were taken on the first night so they are very rough. Enjoy!

This is my side of the room. Once again, this was taken on the first night. I'll update with some new pictures soon. The bed is very small and narrow, the desk is about 10 years old and the chair rocks. But, its a place to sleep and work.

My kitchen. It has a small fridge, sink and 2 hot plates! I haven't made anything on the hot plates yet, so I'll have to let you know how that goes.

My bathtub/sink combo. It looks like a full bath, but it's just fooling you. It's only about 5 inches deep. And the sink takes up most of it! But it has a hand help shower head that does the job decently.

My Toilet. I have been told that even by Central/Eastern European standards that this toilet is terrible. Others have told me that they have to pour water into theirs to make them work, so I guess I'm lucky.

Windows! The only new thing in the room. They are quite nice actually. You can see the scaffolding outside of the window that the workers are on at about 530 am every single morning (yes, even weekends). But if I just crack the top, the room stays nice and cold. Also, you can see my fan, which was my first purchase in the CZR. These rooms have no circulation and I am too much of my mother's daughter, I need moving air to sleep.

I can't get a good picture of my closets because they are so dark, but I am very lucky and this room has a lot of storage space. It is also a lot larger than I thought it would be.

It's nice, I can live here for a little bit.
