Hot Water and Internet

wow, everything seems to be happening at the same time. last saturday, two french girls (amélie and stéphanie) moved into our new apartment in the city center, less than 10 minutes away from the university. it's really a nice place, furnished and with everything we'll need to feel at home for the next months....everything...well, after we'd moved in we had to learn that there were some kind of reconstructions going on for 10 days and so we wouldn't have any warm water. sh*t! i had so wanted to take a nice and hot shower the first morning in our new home, but.... oh well, no hot water until today. i can't believe that they would be doing such kind of reconstructions exactly when it's about to become winter and then not only for 2 or 3
days, but even 10!!! ha, now, finally we do have hot water and at the same day, our internet provider has opened our access to the www as well. how great! and as if this weren't enough good news already, our central heating also started working this morning. yeah! now, we are cozy and warm at home. we're only still lacking some nice decoration and a few covers to hide our
ugly couch and armchairs. but there's no hurry, we've only just settled in, after all.
