pillows

we moved into our place today. after waiting for a couple of hours for the landlady to copy keys for all of us, for a guy to clean the place (so we could move our shit in) and for an huge armoir to be taken. so it's erica, sean and i. and maybe brooke, if she can keep her job here.
at some point sean went to talk to the landlady to make sure that our electricity bill would begin on the day we move in... one of erica's friends had in another situation payed four months' worth of the previous tennant. ehh. so sean came back with the biggest grin on his face, and said, "you guys have -got- to check this out!"

it turns out that this appartment has more perks than we'd thought. the staircase we take to get to our place goes straight up to the roof, where we have a choice view of lake victoria and the source of the nile, and very much of jinja. it's only three storeys tall, but that's taller than most things around. heh, as howa said, "ehhh, you canadians... you will do anything for a nice view.."
and it's true.

so today we're on a search for mattresses (sheets and nets), a countertop gas stove thingy, and we've all decided that we'll just furnish the place with pillows. and i wasn't even the one to suggest it!! erica and brooke did!!

today's probably going to turn out to be one of the more eventful days here, what with moving and furnishing our new place. and breaking it in later with some chilling on the roof.

oh hey, megan, if you can at about noon (your time), that's 9pm (our time). so if you happen to wake up before 2pm (hahahahha, it's not summer anymore! you have to pretty much every day!!!!), call us. anytime after then is probably too late for us. so like, you're not burning out with school and work are you?! take it easy, alright?

alright, i'm off. lots of love
