My first blog ever..check out my apartment!

Hey everyone,

So, I didn't think I would ever do it, but i've decided to try out this blog thing now because, hey, if there's any time i might have something interesting to say and show, it'll probably be now.

At this point, I've been in Florence for just about a week and I've been able to walk around and just scope everything out. Just during the first few days, I became friendly with a bunch of students from my school, and as just about everyone is an international student (mostly American), we all speak English. When I say we became friendly, I'm talking about staying up till 5 am either at a bar, a club, or just sitting around someone's apartment drinking wine every freakin night. I think I'm gunna settle it down a bit with the start of classes; I do only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays though, so we'll see ;-). Sorry mom, but if it makes you feel better, i stayed in tonight to start writing this and get a good night sleep for class tomorrow!

Alright, so I thought I'd put up a few pictures of my apartment. I'm living with 4 other guys in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom place. Its sorta small, but it's really close to everything, so its very convenient. A bunch of the people I know have nicer places, but they're all far away from all the good stuff.  These will be the only pictures for now, as I sorta forgot to take my camera out of my bag over the last week, so I haven't taken any pictures around the city yet.

Sorry for the weird order of the pictures, but I'm still figuring out how to do this and I can't seem to get the pictures to go where I want them. But anyway, this is looking off my terrace down to the restaurant below. Thats where I steal my wireless from :-)

 This is my little terrace thing. It's the only place where I really get strong internet, cause I've been stealing wireless from the restaurant below us.

Bathroom. Self explanatory. Shower...bidet. Just found out yesterday that those drying racks on the left are heated. They're hooked up to the hot water and the water runs through them. Clever.

This is my bedroom, which I share with another guy. Its fine I guess.

When it's too cold out, like right now at 1:22 am, i open the shutters in my room and sit right next to the window. I get a weaker signal, but its better than nothing and I'm not cold.

This is the kitchen. I cleaned up tonight before I started playing around with all this blogging stuff. It doesn't usually look this nice, but this is what you guys will see.

You can't tell from here, but the washing machine's inside is like the size of a basketball. And no one really noticed till yesterday, but we don't have an oven, which is sort of a bummer.

Alright, I'll try to come up with something a little more interesting next time. Maybe I'll actually take my camera outside.
