Sunlight and Another Roomate

Will, the other student from the UA studying in Budapest (and being my roomie), arrived today. The weather decided to be nice and great him with some sunshine. Will slept a bit, the long flights are pretty draining and then we ordered pizza's online for dinner. Yum. Cheap too. For two, 6-topping pizzas delivered to your door, with tip was 3000 forint, a little under 15 bucks. And we have leftovers! Pizza Boy!

I've also been playing around with photoshop a lot...learning, finding brushes and fonts online, creating. Lots of fun. When I make some stuff I really like I'll put it up in a post.

holy crap, I'm here

I arrived in Budapest around 5pm (17pm) last night (9am Tucson time). Awkwardly found the minibus and bought a ticket to the apartment. The address the landlord gave me was slightly wrong, but luckily close enough that he found me where the minibus dropped me off...he apologized. We went up to the flat, gave him the down payment on the apartment. We went to look for a ATM that would work, but with no success. Number 1 goal today: find a ATM that will accept my card. Arrived back at the apartment, and the landlord left without realizing he forgot to add my computer to the internet access. The roommate, German grad student Boris, kindly let me borrow his computer to send a few emails home. Shortly after I fell asleep. 24 hours travel with small naps in uncomfortable airplane seats or airport benches=12 hours of sleep. Feeling much better and less overwhelmed. Boris said he'd take me out to find pizza in a bit.

I really enjoyed the warm goodbyes from everyone and I'll miss you...but I'll also be having lots of fun.goodbye breakfastsunsets over the oceanout the apartment window looking into the courtyard
