O wise f-list, your expertise is required

For almost twenty years, I've been living with my parents but I'm moving out in 7 weeks. Until now, it wouldn't have made any sense, since the university I was attending was in Palma and it would have been a waste of money to rent a flat with friends when it only took me half an hour to get from my house to university.

By 'moving out',  I mean

Have you got a place to dry your clothes? I don't know if the washer is a washer/dryer but if not some pegs and a washing line could be helpful.

If you're cooking using a microwave microwave dishes are really helpful. Just the cheap plastic type that you can throw all sorts of stuff into.

If there's no curtains up at all I'd make sure to have something you can cover the windows with until you buy something more permanent. A sheet, newspaper, something. It doesn't look the best but better than people being able to look in, especially at night.

Mostly what I wish someone told me is you will feel weird in your new place at first, but that does change and it will become home.

We do have a washing line, I knew I forgot something! But I have no idea whether we have microwave dishes, so I'll have to ask deep_lost.

About the curtains, I can't remember if the window had blinds or not, so I'm assuming it doesn't. I suppose I can use an old sheet and once I know I'm staying, buy/make curtains that will fit the window.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind, specially when I feel homesick, which I know I will. The awesome thing is I'll be living with two of my best friends so at least I know I can demand ask for hugs when I'm feeling down.

Also, I think that decorating the room, even if it's just with a poster and some photos on a bulletin board will make me feel more at home, even if it looks nothing like my current bedroom. It'll be more... mine, in a way, which I suppose I'll need when I get home at night after spending the entire day in a city that's not my own. I don't know if I'm

You're making perfect sense.

You're making a lot of changes, coming back to something familiar is a very good idea.

Insect repellant. If you guys have to deal with mosquitoes and that sort of thing. I'd get an electric kettle because I'm a tea addict. Can't really think of anything else.

[runauberginerun]

Insect repellant, definitely; electric kettle, nope. I don't drink tea nor coffee, I'm a weirdo.

Also, HOW ARE YOU?

[be_a_rebel]

Dude. I cannot live without caffeine coursing through my veins. *stares at you like you're an alien*

I'm....meh. Very much so. Khyzar leaves for the U.S on Friday night and I'm contemplating alcohol.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU THOUGH. :D

you should get a basic tool kit, with a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, things like that. you never think about it until all of the sudden you need a screwdriver and don't have one. :P

[runauberginerun]

Oh dude, absolutely!! *writes it down*

[be_a_rebel]

I think knives are a good idea too. Big, shiny, fuck off knives. :D

HAIII, SOON-TO-BE-FLATMATE!! 8D

Pues, realmente tenemos muchas más cosas en casa xD pero sí, la lista la veo adecuada. Ya irás descubriendo la maravilla de ir trayendo y llevando cosas entre las casas xD

[deep_lost]

Ehem....esa era yo xDDDD

[runauberginerun]

Jajaja, ya lo supuse, ya, a no ser que tengas una gemela maligna.

Sé que hay más cosas en el piso, sólo he puesto las que podría tener que llevar/comprar si no estuvieran.

Al final de tanto llevar trastos de un sitio a otro acabaré con la espalda destrozada, pero da igual porque valdrá la pena.

SÓLO FALTAN SIETE SEMANAAAAAAAAAAS \o/
