So after a long plane ride with about 20 minutes of sleep under my belt, a nice English breakfast, reunion with my English mother Pam, and a cheese and fruit lunch, I finally made it to my house. So I lugged my overweight suitcase up the stone steps into this beautiful 18th century home. All my roommates were so nice and even though I was at first nervous about the house being old, now I appreciate its quirkiness. Even if I swear that there is a ghost in this house. Along are some pictures of the different areas of the house. I would put caption but I think they are pretty self-explanatory. So my house is called Linley house after a family that lived here in the eighteenth century. The man who owned the house was apparently really good friends with Mozart and his daughters all fell in love with some pretty important artistic men. This family was very musical so it makes me think that maybe the musical nature will rub off on me and I can become like Mariah Carey. So I live on the ground floor in a double with a girl named Lauren from Syracuse, New York. Another girl named Morgan lives in a single next to us and she is from Pennsylvania. Down in the basement there is a creepy toilet and sink that we can use and a classroom. There is also the washer and dryer and another small stove. To the second floor there is a nice common area that used to be the drawing room. It has yellow walls, a nice TV, couches and chairs, and some VCR movies. Very old school. Next to the common room is a big dining room with a table and also yellow walls. Through the doorway off the dining room is our kitchen which is basically the size of a closet. All the appliances and things work but you can't be in there with anyone else. They gave us some basic foods for our first couple of days like pasta, nutella, bread, milk, and yogurt. Don't worry everyone, I brought two jars of my own peanut butter. Up another flight of stairs are two double rooms that have Sarah, Amanda, Meaghan, and Catherine. Then the showers which are connected but separated by a wall. The front doors are glass so basically you can see everything. Then up a small and narrow set of stairs is a bathtub, toilet, and sink. That's basically it for the house. It is in such a great part of Bath, right in the center. Across the street is where we take classes and down the road is the town center that has all the pubs and shopping. Very convenient. I'll do another post soon if I have time about my day to day stuff, it probably wont be as intense as this one but oh well. Cheers!
Sorry that the pictures are strangely spaced but I couldn't get them to work. Technologically challenged.
