Settling In

I have finished unpacking my things in my new room. It is super big. In fact, it is the biggest room that I have ever owned. I love it!

The last post was actually written on Friday when I was stranded in the Newark Airport. I haven’t had great internet access since I left Canada until today, and I have been busy having fun, of course. Apparently blogspot.com doesn’t want to post any of my pictures that were included in the previous post. Also, my digital camera is officially broken, so any pictures I have taken since I have arrived are really really really bad quality, and it will no longer let me transfer them onto the computer. Everything is going well.

Yesterday I saw Amsterdam for the first time. It is so amazing! Kees asked me if I could picture myself living here for the next four months, and honestly, I totally can!! I’m a lot more comfortable than I ever expected. Yeah! (There has been a lot of cheering so far). So far I have been to a lot of bars, attended another town’s fair, been shopping (at H&M!!!), had the airport loose and find my luggage, went bike ridding, met a lot of really nice people, and finally moved into my own room.

For the next four months I will be living in a small town just outside of Amsterdam. It is called Diemen and it is super cute! I have my own room but I share a bathroom and a kitchen with Ralph, my roomie/neighbour, who is from Germany. He is super chill and I think we are going to get along quiet well. He puts the seat down too. Ralph gets points.

Tomorrow I will buy a cell phone and I will learn how to use the transit system. Fun times ahead!
