The move in was a success, and I've finally been able to unpack my bags eight days after packing them. I'll never take the drive from Columbus to Toledo for granted again, I can tell you that. As I already described it in my last post and don't have much new to report, this post will mostly be some photos I took of the place. Unfortunately, as I started uploading them, I realized that for some reason about seven pictures I took of the main area of the apartment weren't transferred to my computer. I'll make this a two-parter, then, putting up the ones that did make it now and posting the others later.
The entrance hall...
...complete with coat and show rack.
Entrance to my bedroom, with fish tank on left and standalone freezer full of fish (dead) on the right.
Bedroom. Not much to it and nnot very large but it does what it needs to (and there's a real bed!).
Stream of consciousness interruption: as I'm sitting here uploading photos in the Neubrandenburg Bierstube on Prospekt Lenina, a Russian guy my age just came in wearing shorts. I'm sorry, but this is a first for me and I thought it worth mentioning. Where were we? Right...
My desk in the corner of the living room. I'm probably going to have to buy a proper chair.
My dresser/bookcase.
The top of that dresser actually unfolds to become a changing table. Thankfully, I won't need it, because my Depends give me all-day dryness protection. The desk and dresser are both in the living room area, but are unfortunately the only photos of that room that made it onto my computer. It's really quite spacious.
As far as other developments, my first class is on Thursday afternoon. Looks like I'm going to be teaching a healthy variety of everyone from beginners to advanced speakers. Tatiana took me to the university yesterday to meet everyone. For some reason, everyone thinks I'm British, presumably because they get more Brits than Americans around here and I have bad teeth (apologies for that generality, Your Majesty). I'll have more to report after that, but for now I'm just continuing to settle in to my new digs and enjoying the lovely weather before classes start.
