For my second post I thought I might eleborate on my place, or the room I will be living in starting february.
In my country it is custom not to live in a dorm (we don't even have dorms) People buy houses and rent out the rooms.
My room is about a 100 square feet (so it's not big) and there is a closet of about 15 square feet, so all in all... well it's a shoebox. A shoebox that looks like an IKEA catalogue.
To give you an idea of how awesome IKEA is here comes the IKEA furniture:
Two bookcases
My Desk
My couch, I love this thing, it doubles as a bed so people can stay over!
Well that was about it for the Ikea furniture apart from a small table that holds up my tv and xbox360.
Apart from that I have my own sink in the room, a small cubboard under the sink and a fridge so I don't have to go downstairs for a cold drink.
I was surprised by the amount of stuff i managed to cramm into the room without making it seem small.
I just hope that all my clothes will fit into the closet.... and all of my shoes... and my books....
I might need another bookcase but that is for the future.
Luckily, one thing I don't have to worry about is food or finance, I'm a good cook and I can make myself a healthy meal for a fraction of the price it costs to get takeout. and every month I recieve 1200 dollars to get by and with rent only 320 dollar a month I will get by easy! (if everything goes according to plan of course, which in my case... doesn't ever happen...
Love,
BB
