New room!

It's 10:34 in the lovely Tartu and I'm writing this post from my new dorm room! Yesterday I was able to move onto the international floor and I believe I will be much happier here. All of the girls in my apartment are incredibly welcoming and inviting. My new room is about two times the size of my old one and I'm not afraid to use the kitchen.
In other news, a few nights ago I went to an Estonian Ska concert (Ska Faktor) at Gunpowder, a local brewery. I am a huge fan of Ska music and this band definitely met my expectations. I can't even begin to describe the look of sheer joy on my face when the opening notes to "Ghostbusters" blared through a trumpet. Certainly a night to remember and I hope to see them again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8eWKlDWXHw&feature=player_embedded#! What better way to learn Estonian?
Last night was a night of Karaoke, also at Gunpowder. Every Monday quite a crowd piles into the small space to sing ridiculous (and usually painful) renditions of popular songs. YMCA anyone? The house beer is quite inexpensive and provides the perfect dose of liquid courage to get up on stage and belt Barbie Girl or some Brittney Spears. It's quite a fun, especially with the majority of attendants being loud international students.
There is currently a drama festival taking place in Tartu this week. I am hoping to get into a performance of Antigone (my favorite play) on Wednesday, assuming I can find the tickets.
Yesterday I signed up for a student trip to Russia taking place I believe in November. I hope to go to both Lithuania and Latvia this weekend with a group of friends as the weather is still nice and my homework situation is quite mild.
I've been meaning to add a bit about the cuisine here but can never find a nice transition into writing about food. (That was my terrible transition). Everything here is delicious, especially the milk, cheese and yogurt. Milk comes in a bag! Piim is the Estonian word for milk - I learned that after buying a strange half yogurt half milk combination. The cheese (though I can't read any of the names aside from Gouda) is becoming a staple in my diet. Luckily Co Market, a small grocery store conveniently located next door to Raatuse 22, has almost everything I need. I can get delicious creamy yogurt for about 20 cents. It's fantastic.
I usually eat at home but will go out to lunch/dinner with a friend every so often. The borsch is delicious - which is surprising because, for those of you who don't know me well, I usually detest any kind of soup. I usually order pancakes (which are actually Crepes to Americans) with jam. They're quite tasty as well. The other day I enjoyed a delicious pork/carrot/potato dish in a cream sauce served in a small pot. The pizza here is delicious but also is quite different. I had a peach and blue cheese pizza the other day and it was lovely. Potatoes are also common on pizza which isn't all that surprising because you can find potatoes pretty much everywhere.
I think I'll cut this post a bit short as my new roomie isn't feeling well and I'd like to get out of the room and let her sleep. I'll add a few more photos and I hope to read comments!
