mydiamond Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 They announced my room assignment and roommates. They placed me with an Indonesian and an American, in a "transitional room"; meaning one of us would have to move out some time later so each room would only hold two girls. Not sure when "some time later" is, but I am already seeing the odd one out. Uh oh. Why in this ever-loving Earth would they place two Indonesians and one American together? But at least they both look nice. Just hoping I look less of a crazy Husky lady and more of a "commoner" to them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Aww, I'm sure it'll be fine but to my mind that transitional plan sounds like a good thing. If for any reason you decide you don't like your roomates, you've got any easy "get out quick" card up your sleeve. Might work to your advantage. Good luck Liv! xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydiamond Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Talked to her. She sounds nice. The Indonesian girl still hasn't accepted my friend request though. Maybe she's not on Facebook anymore. Time difference really made it hard to hold a conversation though. I stayed up late until midnight to send her a message and she only replied at 3 AM (my time). Now at 9 AM, I replied and she's already in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningStruck Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think it will be helpful to have both someone you can feel familiar with and an American that can help with any questions you have about things. But to be honest, I think you won't need much help, you've got most americanisms down already. I'm so excited for you! Sent from my iPhone inbetween walking dogs!

I only stayed there two weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
