My Room

I finally uploaded the pictures of my room so that I can post them online!  I am in a house and on each of the three floors there are seven individual ensuite rooms and a communal kitchen.  Luckily, I am on the opposite side of the floor from the kitchen.  I am on the second floor of the house and face out onto Pearse Street - it makes for great people watching!  The kitchen is a very small galley kitchen with a refrigerator about the size of a freezer in the States.  There is hardly enough room for each of us to put a couple items in - and I am pretty sure some are hogging the space more than others.  An example, one of the people keeps a pot of leftovers in the fridge rather than putting it into smaller containers...  I think the food and kitchen is the only challenging part of my living arrangement.  The other six people on the floor are very nice and easy to get along with - in fact, we are having a floor dinner tomorrow night.

This picture shows the view from the door of my room towards desk and window.

This picture shows right side of my desk and corner next to it - the solid block of wood on the right side of the picture is my bed.

My train compartment bed and attached closet.

My sitting area...

And my world's smallest bathroom!

Well that is the room! :)
