6 Flights and 48 stairs total

That is the number which I was continuously counting while carrying all stuff into my new place... I'm not sore yet but am waiting for it to hit me because that was a lot of work. Although I am happy to say that I am all moved in, unpacked, and was able to fit all my cloths in my new closet which is about 2/3 the size of my previous one. I'm very proud of this point in particular :)

I moved from my 6 bedroom 2 bath place which I was sharing with 5 other girls into a 2 bedroom 1 bath place with a friend. Now for those who visited my last place they may be wondering why I moved... I had a massive room (the equivalent size of a masters in the states), a closet which was big by American standards, and an insane kitchen. The downside was that this was shared with 5 other ladies. With the territory of this many people (and little living space) comes issues like only 1 or 2 of us actually bought toilet paper on a regular basis, and when others chipped in it was a 6 pack. I'm sorry but a 6 pack of toilet paper doesn't last very long with that many women. Then there were the particular people who never washed their dishes.

The new place is very nice, has a big flat screen LG tv, each room has a balcony, the kitchen is nice, top floor, and there is a big garage for me to stash my luggage in. The only down fall is that the rent is higher and it puts a massive hill between me and my current work (good old Poco's Cantina). However last night Gloria (my new flatmate) and I ventured out to see where things were. In doing so we realised we are much closer to our new local pub - about 50 meters to be exact - which is dangerous considering it's open till 4 AM. We also walked by a really nice looking Italian place where I asked if they were hiring... so I will be droping off my resume tonight to them in the hopes that I can get a job there.

I have pictures, but forgot my cable at home - and we don't have internet yet so it might be a while before I get them uploaded. But once I get some pics I'll post them for all to see.
