The big question of the week is: Who in the world would have guessed that I totally have this domestic side dying to come out of me? The other day I started to just tidy up my room a bit, and ended up cleaning the entire flat. Today, I bought some plants (mint, basil, and some red/orange flowers) and planted them in the little area outside my wimdow. What is this? Next thing you know I'll be cooking up a storm and feeding everyone around me until they run and hide...

I got dressed up in a longer skirt and sweater today, and ventured a couple blocks north of the city center, into a more religious neighborhood. Just for kicks. haha just kidding, I went because the other day when I was on the bus returning from my interview, I noticed a mattress store, and I wanted to check it out. Turns out they had nothing, but it was kind of interesting to be there. I kind of felt like an imposter, but there's no way anyone in the neighborhood would know. Except that I took off the sweater as soon as I reached the main street, revealing my arms all the way to the shoulders. I live on the edge.

The water heater broke again today. Charlie (the plumber) is starting to feel like the 4th roommate. And then the power went out. But then it came on again. Ah, the perks of living in an ancient city....
