Hi Amanda
I've really had a hectic time since l started my university course in October and l'm sorry l haven't (1) in touch for so long.
A few words about how it's all been goind. I moved to Cracow at the end of September. It (2) me and my friend, Adam, quite a bit of looking around before we found an affordable flat to rent. It is located a bit far from the cite centre, but there are good public transport services. The basic amenities are also within a walking distance, so I can't really complain. Anyway, Adam and l have decided we'll need one more person to share the flat with us. (3) , we both might be a bit short of money because the costs of living and studying are so high. I even thought of getting a part-time job, but after the first two weeks of my studies I decided not to. The course is really demanding and we've already been given some assignments to write. At this moment l'm struggling with my paper on constitutional law. The research is taking me forever and l probably won't be able to go home for the weekend as l planned.
Anyway, how are things for you? You (4) working for that advertising company by now as you said you would at the beginning of October. So, how are you getting on?
