i gave in

I gave in and moved out of the dorm. This morning CIEE organized a grievances meeting for the dorm residents, which included a lot of complaints about toilets not flushing, kitchens being filthy and squatters residing in the rooms. So when the option came to move out, I couldn't resist saying something. I'm now living in a lovely house with one other CIEE girl and eight other international students from all over. I'm going to post pictures soon, but I am so happy, and while this may make me seem spoiled and weak, I'm going to be infinitely happier here for the next five months than I would have been in the dorm.
