My 'Apartment'

So the place we are staying is above the church offices... here are the stairs to get up to our place:

The room is the size of a master bedroom, although now that I am sitting here looking around I would say it is probably smaller than that. I am sharing this space with 2 other girls - Allix and Jessica (Jessica is only here for a few more weeks, then we've got about a month to ourselves before Becca moves in). There are no dressers or closets, which means that I am going to have to live out of my suit cases for 3 months. Here are some pictures just going around the room:

Part of the bedroom - the door is in the left of the picture, and our couch is in the corner.

Allix's bed is in the corner... mine is the one with the colorful blankets.

Here is Jessica's bed.

Our 'dining room' and entry to our kitchen.

Here is the extent of our kitchen. All that is behind me is the fridge.



The bathroom is down the hall from us... in 2 different rooms! The sink, tub, and washer (no dryer) are in one room, and the toilet is in like a little closet further down the hall. Our "shower" is an old fashioned tub with a hose. What you do is stand in the tub and rinse off, then turn the water off and lather up, then rinse off. It actually isn't as bad as it sounds... I for sure miss taking an actual shower, but for the time I am here this will do just fine.

Here is our toilet! Notice the thing to pull to flush.

This is for sure something to get use to, but so far so good =)
