when my life is upside down

#5

During the whole trip nobody said a word because my parents and I had an argument at the airport because they hadn't told me that I would go to a Korean school. They think it would be better for me but I don't think so.

We drove over an hour. The whole trip I looked out the window and looked at the city a bit. It was very full. Well, I'm not surprised with 10 millions inhabitants. I've always thought that Chicago was too crowded, but I guess I was wrong.

We had arrived and I was standing in front of the apartment. I was surprised because it looked nicer from the outside than I thought. There were only a few other houses nearby but they were all about 5 meters away. In the house we only had one neighbor. As I know she was an older lady. She lived alone because her children have already moved, but they visit her very often.

When we went in I first looked at everything. Well, you couldn't see that much now because we hadn't bought our furniture yet and our things from Chicago weren't there either. To be honest, the only important thing about the packages from Chicago was my books. I prayed they wouldn't get any harm.

But now back to the apartment. It was bigger then I imagined. There were two floors and a total of five rooms. But since there were only three of us and my parents would share a room it would mean two rooms were left. My room would be upstairs with a bathroom across the door, the other rooms and a storage room at the end of the hall. Downstairs was the kitchen that was connected to the dining room and one door further the really big living room. It was really very big. There were also two bathrooms downstairs. Our apartment was bigger then our neighbor's downstairs. It had one bathroom one floor and three rooms. I don't think a single person needs that much burst either.

So I was now in ,,my" room. It was big but it was very different from Chicago. The walls were crooked on the right side ( when you walk in ) and there were three large windows side by side so it looks like a single large one. They would take up most of the wall, but there was about 50 com of space left at both ends.
