anyway, regarding the house. it's in sub-urb.
it has 2 levels, 3 bed rooms, 1 garage and bla bla bla...
shared with 2 other people.
walking distance to school, less than 30min walk.
there's this long steep slope to the main road, good exercise!
at night, it's dark, really, very. lol.
lots of ants, technically dead ants. pool of dead ants? lol
when i 1st reached, i look at the bathroom, i see pools of them. after i use a cup to flush them away, more will appear. and as i flush, ants were flushed out. but slowly it's getting better day by day. (as promised, no gross pic!)
there're all sort of creatures, cockroaches, ants, spiders, bat, bla bla bla. and bush turkeys! they always invade my backyard. very noisy~ oh yeah, there was this fat crispy worm in the living room, i picked it up and it breaks into pieces, and it continues into many pieces. just simply to crispy. and thank god, no fucking frogs!
i'll post pic of the place and my room soon as things get more complete.
and of course pics in school.
next post: explain about the enrollment loop bug.
