Moving In

 About noon on Sunday, I arrived at my home for the next six weeks. It's a really pretty place with lots of plants and at really good location for staying in the city. As you can see to the right, its a three story building. Amber (the other student from New York taking the class) and myself live on the first floor with our own kitchen and bathroom and then the Mamić's live on the third floor.

The next picture shows the entrance, with our floor being straight ahead and downstairs being the library where we do some of the classes. 

We have nice rooms and pretty decent internet. I was surprised by how nice everything was and how easy the move in was. My room is shown below, with a bed, closet, fan, desk, and everything already there ready for me.

The kitchen is pretty sweet too, equipped with a Croatian television, a fridge, and all the dishes that we will ever need. The only thing that has taken a little of getting use to is not having a microwave.

The bathroom is nice and clean and identical to ones in America, aside from perhaps the fact that the bath is basically a shower head attached to the end of a tube that you use to wash yourself.

And finally we have the classroom in which most of our classes are held. That's right, classes are actually in the same building. I literally can just walk from my room to class without putting shoes on. Already once my first week I overslept and went from being asleep to five minutes later in the classroom.

Well, that's all of my home accommodations! It's really nice here and the host family, not to mention my teachers, are all extremely nice and are used to students still learning the language such as myself. It's more than I ever could have expected!
