I live in a mouse house...

...just kidding! No mouses here! Just 4 girls, happy to be alive :)
I’m going to show your our apartment.
Between you and me, out of the 3 apartments BYU girls live in, ours is hands down the best option available.

This is our apartment before it got all moved in to...

Living room complete with luggage. It leads out to a little balcony.

Kitchen

Our washer that can fit about 1 pair of jeans+socks

Balcony

Bathroom. It's the scariest room EVER

African Safari room

Me and Chelsea's "Green Room"

Someone punched the glass out of our bedroom window at some point

Now for the after pictures. So homey feeling. 

Our apartment has the RANDOMEST decorations-pre furnished. Giant dream catcher...

...harpoon and African people picture. We added a temple, Jesus and rearranged the furniture.

They had a shoe rack that we promptly filled up!! :)

Stove and oven that have to be lit with a match

1. Aimee and I share a bed. Happy to report she's a dime. No blanket stealing, sleep talking, snoring or violent thrashing.

2. We have a naked lady clock...

3. There is a mop in our bathroom full of disgusting smelly water. We need to dump it out buuuut, it has yet to happen. I dropped my comb in it and a cry of distress escaped my mouth. It's that bad. As Kelsey put it, "It's going to become infested with microbes and you're never going to be able to use it again!!

4. The view from our kitchen window looks like it's from Taken. Ya know the part where she is watching her friend get kidnapped from across the little courtyard thing? It's exactly like that, but it another person's apartment we can see into instead of our own. Needless to say our blinds stay shut.

5. Our shower is...special...it has no curtain, it is dingy/stained/cracked/has semi exposed pipeage, aaaaand we had to squat under the spout in order to bathe our bodies. I say had, because that problem has been resolved. It randomly stopped working one day so we had to improvise. Turn the water on, squat, and just take that loofah to town. I was scared to actually sit in the shower and make myself comfy so I spent the duration squatting and rotating my body to wash the soap off. I really wish there was a way to record what we had to do without turning it into a complete porno. I kept giggling while I "showered" because it's hard to believe I'm actually in Romania...unable to bathe like a normal human being.

6. Along with our risque clock, our apartment came outfitted with 3 Shrek cups. I get the gingerbread man, Aimee has donkey and Kelsey has Shrek :)

7. Kelsey has a BOMB. That might be a slight exaggeration, but she has an alarm that sounds like a bomb. Yesterday morning I woke up terrified because I thought there was a bomb alarm going off or we were experiencing our first Romanian fire drill. I sat up in bed confused and still asleep, and Amiee stood up and looked out the window to see if people were evacuating. It sounded like sirens from WWII movies were blaring through our apartment. All the sudden it stopped so we just went back to bed and pretended it didn't happen haha Later we found out that it was only Kelsey’s alarm clock. She told us that she doesn’t wake up for anything so she has to have an alarm clock that wakes other people up so they will force her to wake up and turn it off.

8. Making dinner for the first time was quite the experience. Like I said before you have to light the burners and oven with a match. We managed to get the stove going so we cooked our pasta and vegetables and warmed up our sauce. The oven was giving us major issues (we still don't know how to work it after having our facilitator look at it...) so once again we worked with what we had. We lit all the burners, put our bread on a pan, and stuck it on top! We wanted to get it a little toasted and melt some cheese on top, and it wasn't a complete disaster! Despite a little bit of smoke and ash, I'd give the meal a pass card! We'll learn.
