Residence

Thought you might be interested in seeing where I live! I've pretty much finished putting it together so I finally snapped some photos. I live in the international residence so I have floormates from England, Ireland, Scotland, Finland, Canada, US, Argentina, Russia, China, Singapore, and I'm sure I'm forgetting many!

The first night I lived in residence was a bit scary. I was alone and decided to go try calling my parents from the payphone downstairs so as I was walking down the hallway to the staircase, the lights in the staircase went out and it went pitch black just as I entered. There was no way I was walking down three flights of stairs in the dark...so back to my room I went. Half an hour later I tried again and the lights were on this time. The next day, I found out that the residence likes to conserve energy and every 60 seconds, the lights in the hallways and stairwells go out, and there's buttons every 5 ft that you can press that turn them on for another 60 seconds (which are not doorbells as I soon came to find out!) Here's a video to show you how ridiculously creepy the lights are at night:

Now for my room, here are some pictures!

The outside of my dorm.

View of my room from my door. It's no longer this clean. Shocking!!

My little kitchen equipped with a mini fridge, hot plate, and a sink...let's just say I need to get a little creative with cooking.

My itsy bitsy teenie weenie closet :(

View from the other side of my room. My "kitchen" is on the right of the green door.

My wall of fame...and my bed.

The door next to my vanity opens into this. The first door on the left is the toilet, the second door is the shower, and the third door is the entrance to Julie's room.
