Yesterday morning I moved into my dorm with my two roommates, Jamie and Kim. The three of us were pretty upset about being tripled, but as it turns out it really isn’t that bad. We all seem to get along pretty well and there’s more space that I would have expected. My personal issue with the situation is that both Jamie and I have beds that are crazy high up. I’m on a loft bed, with my desk and things neatly tucked underneath and she has to sleep on the top bunk of Kim’s bed. Even though I had a bunk bed at home, I never slept on the top, because I was too lazy to climb up and down every morning and night and because the ladder part hurt my feet. This is definitely something I have to get used to. On the bright side my mattress is way more comfortable than I thought it would be. This is probably due to the 8000 inches of memory foam my parents and I put on it when we got here.
I am actually very impressed with the amount of space I have in this room. All of my clothes fit in a wardrobe and two dresser drawers. I also managed to fit my trunk and my plastic drawers in the wardrobe, plus towels and shoes. I have a third drawer to my name, because there are nine drawers and three girls so we split them easily using our intellectual college math minds. I stuffed all my clothes into two so that I could use my third drawer for food, because it was getting in the way when it was in my closet. I now officially have a drawer of unmentionable starches. Speaking of food, I’ve already had two pieces of the zucchini bread my grandmother made me and I had to stop myself from having more. It’s excellent and great with coffee for breakfast. J I haven’t gone to the dining hall yet, which is conveniently –very- close to my dorm. I made myself some soup for dinner last night and had some zucchini bread. I was still getting things organized. In fact, I’m –still- getting things organized.
This morning I went for a bike ride on my pretty stylish bicycle. I wanted to explore the campus, but I was only out for like an hour. It was just too hot. The humidity is awful and it isn’t really worth going outside at this point. Unfortunately my other option is hanging out in my dorm, which is fine, because I like my roommates, but there isn’t a lot to do and our internet isn’t working. (I’m writing this as a word document to post later.)
Overall I like it here a lot, but I'm really anxious for classes to start. I feel like I don't have much to occupy my time right now.
Annnd Now! Pictures of my new home.
This is one of the doors to my wardrobe. . . I thought I was pretty cool.
And inside my very cluttered wardrobe. (sorry its fuzzy, I was too lazy to retake it.)
This was the first poster I put up. Its on the inside of my wardrobe door. I didn't want my roommates to judge me right away. . .
And the other door.
And this is kind of my area of the room. I share the dresser in the corner with my roommate Jamie.
So yeah. . . that's my room. . . not including the other side which my roommates have.
