Week 2!

As promised last week, here are the apartment photos:

Here’s the bedroom—not too huge, but we’re never even in there unless we’re sleeping or getting ready in the morning.

The other two girls have a bigger room. This isn’t a problem though, because we have a way bigger closet! I could easily live in there. Too bad Jenny and I have so many clothes, we can’t each have a single ;)

Here is the kitchen—has everything one needs, although our pot is missing a handle…

And finally, the living room and sun room.

Well another week has passed—feels like ten! I’m ready for a vacay. For a recap on the past week: Lots of work and Metro rides. Friday I went out with my roommates and another girl who lives in the building to Adam’s Morgan. We never actually went in anywhere, but it was sure an adventure getting there and getting home (Read: Creepy old dude chasing us all the way down to the strip). We took a cab home, for fear of more strange people, and then I relaxed and went to bed.

I decided, randomly, Friday evening that I needed new shoes, so on Saturday I went to the mall at Pentagon City with one of the roomies. Forget getting lost in D.C. (which is hard to do once you get the hang of things)—this mall was a total maze. No worries though! I found my shoes, which began to cut up my ankles after a mere half hour of use. (But look how cute they are!!)

Beauty is pain… But if anyone is interested- Bandolino is currently having great sales.

Rumor has it that TWC is building a dorm for all if its students. I have no idea what the timeline for this project is—but neat!—my company might be the one to do it! No guarantee on any of this though, but how cool would that be!? That’s a project I’d really like to be a part of at work. Work is going good. Auto-CAD and I are still BFF’s <3>

I keep forgetting that laundry is free here. It’s awesome.

Lessons of the week:

1) When walking down the sidewalk amidst conversation with a friend, do watch out for parking meters and signs. They hurt when you walk into them.

2) Try and make friends with everyone you meet. It’s not too easy to meet people more than once here, so do what you can to get to know everyone you stumble upon. There are a lot of really cool people here.
