Homestay!!!!!

So after a grueling two weeks in the residencia, I have finally moved out and I'm living in a barrio called Triana. It's on the other side of the river. I live with a senorita who's 28, totally awesome, and is a professor of Spanish Literature and Language. I couldn't have had better luck with finding such a great place to stay in for the next three months. I am just so happy! I have my own room, basically my own little apartment. It's so sweet. I'll explain with some pictures.

I moved in last night. When you first enter, on your right is the kitchen.



Here's the other side of the kitchen


On the left side of the hall is the bathroom:

It's tiny, but I don't need a lot to get by.

Once you walk down the first hall, you get to a longer hallway. Down to the left is my senorita's side of the apartment.


This is her living room.


Another glimpse of it. The door you see leads to her bedroom.

Then you go down the hall..


And you enter my side of the place..

This is the sitting room I suppose. A small couch and a desk. I love it.


Here's another picture of it. The door leads to my room.


There are two beds because she normally houses two American students, but I'm the only one living here!


And here's the view from my bed. I'm lucky that I have a lot of room.

I start university classes on Monday. I'm really nervous. Wish me luck. I have to buy a bus pass and I think I need to start buying presents for people now so I don't forget. So let me know what you want. Especially my sisters. Because you guys are the worst to shop for. Yeah.

And I'm almost positive that Paris and Barcelona will be two very possible trips in the distant future!

And Granada next weekend. I can't wait!!!

Thanks for reading. I miss you guys. And sorry I'm slacking on the postcards, I swear I'll get to them...eventually.

Everything looks so quaint! (That's a good thing for me... it sounds old lady like though, but that's not what I mean!) Good luck at your classes!
