6/3 we made it to our flats!

our building is gorgeous, not what i expected. It's actually an office building with conference rooms and things on the first 4 floors and then our flats on the 5th floor. After only ever seeing my aunts flat in london (for one person) I had imagined what uncomfortably small living conditions we would have, but they were so BIG! (now we know where our tuition goes). The maid was still cleaning when we arrived and informed us that our toilets weren't working... no big deal... yeah right. There were 3 bedrooms for the 6 of us and one room had BUNKBEDS (gew). So because everyone absolutely detested the bunkbeds, we paired up and picked numbers for the bedrooms to be fair. I knew if I picked I would get the bunkbeds just because I probably hated them the most. I have a loft bed at home and have not slept on it for at least 6 years, instead I sleep on a mattress on the floor. So Rosie and I got the bunkbeds, no surprise there. We immediately figured out how we could dismantle them because there was no way that for 5 weeks we would be able to surivive sleeping on top of each other. Even better the two biggest girls get the smallest room... hahaha im over it now, kinda.
We had these gorgeous balconies outside our windows that we all immediately went out on and were loving life and then had a meeting with the anglo-american guy and told us that we werent allowed on them and if we did they would seal our windows shut, whoops. Also, on top of the toilets not working one of our showers flood... but we still love our flat!!!
We went food shopping at Sainsbury, which luckily is right on the corner. While shopping I needed the toilet and realized that I couldnt go back to the flat to use ours and was in quite the pickle so I asked a lady working if I could use theirs (which of course in a city there are no public toilets). I explained my situation and she said that she would let me use them she just had to tell her managers first, on the way to find her managers she mentioned that she would have to tell them that I was pregnant. Pretty funny and I definitely didnt care at this point and I would also have to skip on buying that bottle of wine I had wanted. haha
We went exploring a little around the area and found a place for dinner and then hit up our first pub.
