I MOVED IN YESTERDAY!!!
yea! im excited -- I can now put stuff away and start to get things done. The only bad thing about the apt. Is that a grocery store is about 1/2-3/4 a mile up this big hill so carrying food back sucks--I have to take the monorail back but it does drop me off right at my doorstep! I am going to the palace tomorrow to meet up with all the American kids who just got in for study abroad/international studies so hopefully I will be able to meet some people. It has been a bit harder then I thought it was going to be but I guess I just need to give it time--I mean it took a little while last summer in Colorado too. I have however found some nice places to go and meet people so that will be happening soon. I have decided that the only people who take the bus are crazy people but I have no choice therefore I will sit in the front and be a dork (kids tend to sit in the back). I can get my work permit on 1 august so after that I will find someplace for casual work--most likely at one of the really nice restaurants or bars on the harbour unless I am able to find a job at a gym or something that works with my degree. Its warmer today near 50!! But at night it is still very cold (last night 2 degrees Celsius) and there is a month left of winter...Can't wait for September to get here!
