my place

Yesterday Tim (one of my flatmate's friends) and I went over to Abbie's place and got the sofa and other items that she didn't want. We were able to get everything in his car, it was quite amazing. God bless Ford Focus Wagons.. the fact that the sofa isnt huge helped too. But we got it all over here, and set up in my place. The shelf needs to rest against something (it doesn't like to stand on its own). But it works well enough my needs and should be just fine. The only thing remaining is to get the heat in my room working. Right now its at around 20% (maybe). I am the last on the loop and the water is low. So my landlord needs to refill the system. He is aware of this but just started a new job and has been quite busy.

Found out today that the scope of the project we are working on is vastly larger than what we had imagined. But will not need as much detail as we explore each area. So the work load is about the same. However, I think the powers that be would like us to be done with this by Dec 23 (when we all leave for Holiday). This way the people we are working with/for have time to move our suggestions into their format etc etc.. So I'll work on this until I come home for xmas and then maybe something else for a few weeks in Jan before I am done.







These pictures are of my room and the kitchen. Omitted is the bathroom. Often I hang out in Johannes's area, he has more of a separate living room area...

I have been trying to catch up on my German. Johannes and I are going to try for days where we just speak German, hopefully that will help move my studies along as well. He' a good flatmate and certainly enjoyable to have a social network outside of work.
