Sooooo I was talking to our new director last night who was in shock that we lived so far away from the city center, its 20min by bus, but we have a little town of sorts around us with grocery stores, bars, a gym, cafe, nice restaurant, etc. I told him that when I came I asked to be in the city center and our HR girl (who recently got let go, ahem) said that either I could live alone not in the city center, or where I am now with friends but also not in the city center. So I asked him if thats true, and he said absolutely not. That I could totally live in the city center somewhere and to just ask the receptionist to find something for me. So I am thinking of moving...
I would have to live alone, which seemed unappealing at first, but now that I know the city better and am much more independent then I was even when I first told them where I wanted to live a few months ago, and have seen the other apartments that are all brand new inside and SUPER nice...it is sounding more and more awesome. Plus, after a long ass day I find I dont always want to hang out with anyone. A lot of nights I just hit the gym, make dinner, and sit in my room and work more or talk to friends online. I would probably get an apartment much more modern and would be able to walk and be at any amount of cafes, restaurants, malls, and cultural places. I think I'd get to meet cool new people too. So maybe Ill ask about it on Monday. Even though I know my parents are freaking out right now about the idea of me living alone, haha. But this is seriously the safest city I have been to in all of my travels, I feel safer here then even Paris or Rome.
Here are some photos of the progress on my flat so far...
This table and chairs are probably my favorite things we have. They are so cute! I added the flower and we are going to get a cute new table cloth for it too.
Most days the back of our kitchen looks like this. It sucks. We want to get curtains to cover it with.
My room in progress. I just need a new duvet/sheet set, curtains, and a mirror.
I'd like to get something to go under the strings of post cards too. Hoping to find a lovely poster of sorts in Vienna when I get the chance to go.
But now I am wondering if I should even bother redecorating and just move to a new place thats already cute and modern? hmm...
But for now I HATE so many aspects of my room that its driving me crazy! I miss my pretty stuff at home I've collected over the years. This is why I want it to be awesome when I get back to my room here each night so I like it here and don't just miss home half the time.
Thoughts?
Love from Slovakia!
I think it might be worth looking into but there is the worry of you living alone & being lonely & the safety aspect too.
ReplyDeleteYou are still there for another 6 months so I say go for it especially since you'd have better access to the city.
can't u find another roommate from the school who want to live in the city center too?
