So finally, here's the long ago promised post about the place I live in - Kestrel Court unit 35.
I've already talked about it before so let's just let the pictures speak for themselves (wiht captions ofc haha)
The hallway & kitchen
Downstairs (2 bedrooms & a bathroom) & the living room that no one ever uses
Sharing this bathroom with 3 other girl has its challenges...
Monsieur Pomelo on the fridge (which I should be paying for but I guess they just forgot it here, not complaining! *"it" being the fridge, not the pomelo). The bed is so high that I have to climb up there like a child. And I always hit my thigh on the corner which leaves pretty nice bruises too... But it's good anyway cause there are drawers! It's a bit short too so have to sleep diagonally. And I have to keep the pillow in the corner because otherwise I keep waking up to the rattling of the blinds (yeah I move a lot when I sleep)
The way to school (and anywhere else ofc)
The Kestrel Court "gate" and the school on the background (well just like 10% of it). And the 'view' from the living room window.
Not my house in either of these pics, but all the houses are pretty much identical.
My house is on the left (I'm standing at the end of it so you can't see it). And the laundry room which I'm going to miss when I move back to Porvoo........ There are more washing machines on the right.
I had seen this before a couple of times and every time I left it at the store I felt really sad so I finally bought it! Don't know how I'll get it back to Finland but let's not worry about that just yet!
I live here with 4 roommates, who are all Canadian. I don't really see them that often but they're nice! A bit younger though (18, 18, 19, 20). There was one more girl living here in the beginning but she got hit by a car on the way to school and broke her collarbone so she went back home.

Otherwise things are going great! Lots of schoolwork, a few mid-terms, wine tastings, going out on weekends, a trip to Niagara Falls yesterday, Miami in 5 days... Loving life!
