Room Tour!

So I've gotten a couple requests for a picture blog about where I live, so here it is! My hall is called Centennial, and it consists of five buildings. I live in building 5 which happens to be the building with laundry and a common room! Each building has two floors, and a total of four wings, though one of the wings on my building is dedicated to laundry/common room, not actual rooms.


The outside of my building, my camera couldn't capture much from closer up.


My wing is the upper right one! Camera couldn't capture the left wings.


The straight on view when you open up our pod door, bathroom is a door directly to the right, kitchen is that door on the left, and everything carpeted is rooms (there's 6). Oh, and that door at the end is a broom closet.


Our bathroom (one toilet, two sinks, two showers)


Our airplane sized toilet room


One of the showers


View of the kitchen from the doorway


Our cooking area


It gets full when six people have to share it...


Each of us has a shelf (mine is the very full third row down)


The right side of my room


The view of my tiny room from the doorway


My bed/wall


My closet


My bookshelves and towel rack


Looking out into the hallway from inside my room


My super messy desk

Well that's my building! I would do a campus tour, but that would take a LONG time and probably wouldn't do it much justice! I hope you guys enjoyed my messy little building tour, I hope it makes sense haha.

Random Update: Walked into town yesterday for the farmer's market where I bought some homemade bread and fudge, then took the bus into the city with Lisa, Robert, and Peter (Germany, Pennsylvania, German), and we did a little shopping then went and saw the Averngers 2: Age of Ultron which was really fun! We got AWESOME seats and instead of paying $20 to see it on the "Extremescreen" we got to see it for $12, still not sure why. But it was really fun. Today I basically was a hermit and did homework/watched YouTube videos, and made homemade rice pudding and homemade applesauce! Unfortunately I doubled the recipe for rice pudding, because I had enough ingredients to do so, and now I have a ton of rice pudding. I also used a lot of apples for the applesauce, so now I have a lot of that too, and our fridge is already packed. Oh well! Also, I tried sarsparilla soda for the first time, it's the closest thing New Zealand has to rootbeer. It's pretty good, similar to rootbeer but a little bit off. In other news, our wine is ALMOST done fermenting! It should be done tomorrow and the next day. To tell when it's finished, we measure sugar levels (because the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol), and we're almost to -1, which is what we're aiming for. -1 is a dry wine style, and we also chucked some oak chips in to make it more interesting. AND GREAT NEWS! My wine prof can give us letters that lets us take our wine through customs even though I'll only be 20! HOORAY NOW MY FAMILY CAN TRY IT! Hopefully it doesn't taste horrible.

Well that's it from me! Got a few big projects coming up, so wish me luck :) Only four weeks left of lecture, then three weeks for exams, then I'm home. It's been one wild ride :)
