The night of Halloween was supposed to be spent dressing up in costumes and celebrating, but instead my roommates and I spent it panicking, because our landlord had informed us that she will be selling our apartment. At first, she told us we had one week to find somewhere new and move everything...... so naturally, we spent that night in a panicked frenzy, desperately searching for new apartments. However, after much complaining and one dramatic episode, (by a roommate that shall remain nameless) we were able to get two more months out of her. So, December 31 will be my last day in this apartment, and then it'll be onto a new adventure, living somewhere else in this awesome city! Rather than being sad and angry, we've decided to take a positive outlook on this situation and are going to have some fun finding a new flat together (the three girls are planning to stay together).
Last thing!!! On November 1, my roommate Cornelia (South African) had planned a barbecue at our house (or as the South Africans call it a brie??). It was awesome and perfect after such a crappy day, the day before. Many of her South African friends came over with lots of great food to cook on the small barbecue that Cornelia owns (pictures and a video of the bbq below) and it was amazing!!!!! (I know what you're thinking...... I have gone from extreme vegetarian to straight carnivore..... there is simply no explanation that I can conjure). I think Cornelia is my favorite person in this city, not only is she great company, but she reminds me of my mom (anal about cleaning, an awesome cook, and a loyal and supportive friend). That's all for now...... toodles!
