Now what?

It's really not that hot over here. I can't wait till October because I believe that will be perfect jeans + T-shirt weather. In a matter of just 1 day since arrival, I managed to:
1. Open a bank account
2. Find an apartment
3. Visit my grandparents
4. Find a girlfriend
5. Meet up with friends

Ok, so no.4 is false, but regardless, I've been pretty successful/productive thus far. It was discouraging at first to see that my budget for apartments could only get me a toilet with a shower head attached to the top of it. Literally. This means I can shit AND take a shower at the same time. If only they sold waterproof newspapers....

But alas, this new apartment looks grand. Further than anticipated, but nicer than beyond my expectations. I give myself a week before I try to find faults in it.

Now here's the problem. I've been too productive. What I anticipated to take a week to do is all done in a matter of 12 hours from arrival. And I'm now learning to relax. Nope, they didn't have the latest Naomi Klein book, and my self-help book on positive psychology is beginning to sound redundant. God forbid I'll be left with my own thoughts. Help!
