Life here

This weekend is the last long weekend that we will have here.  We have this weekend, and then next weekend, and then we will be home.  It is such a weird idea of being home.  I can not believe that it has been 3 months already.  I feel like we just got here.  Things are just so normal now.

Riding the metro an hour to get anywhere downtown

Bundling up to go outside (scarves, gloves, hat, thermals etc)

Walking everywhere

Never being in a car

Having the grocery store less than 5 minutes away from the apartment

Waking up at 10 and having it be still really dark outside

Leaving the window open because it is hot if you don't

Eating soup for dinner

Being forced to stay up at least past midnight

Never having to text anyone

Constantly being other people in the group

Never knowing what is going on
Inside jokes

It is been quite an adventure living here!  We have had so many adventures, and I've gotten to know these girls here a lot more.  Sometimes, a little to much.  Haha.  Here are some pictures from what we've done.
