Back to School Part One- Living Quarters

So, here I am, back at Messiah.
Actually I've been here for five days now, and I'm shocked that I haven't updated this yet. Last year I was updating this thing at least two times a week.

Anyhow, at this point we've got our apartment set up how we want it. It's really nice thanks to the renovations they did over the summer. In fact, it totally exceeded my expectations. The kitchen, is a full kitchen. Not the largest one I've ever seen, but we are not short on cabinet space at all. Also, the refrigerator and the oven are both brand new. It gets a bit crowded with the table and all, making it hard to open the oven door the whole way, but it's all good. The living room is also nice. It's a bit smallish, but once again, it's fine for us. It came with a sofa and two chairs, and we added another chair of our own, as well as a TV stand. We also got a cute coffee table to place in the middle of the room. We've done our best with decorating it, without risking any harm to the fresh paint job. The bathroom, is actually fairly large and spacious. Fitting all the make-up, styling tools, and shower stuff for five girls hasn't been a challenge at all. Shocking isn't it? There are two bedrooms. I share mine with two other girls. This has been a bit more of a challenge, fitting all of our furniture in here. We've got a bunk bed, a single bed, three desks, and three dressers. So, Michelle and I have got our dressers inside our closets, and Carla is keeping her desk inside of her's. Not exactly ideal, but so far it's working. We then make up for the missing closet space by storing a lot of stuff under our beds. So it's not a perfect set up, however, I'd definitely recommend this over a dorm. I've got a nice kitchen to cook in, I'm only sharing a bathroom with 4 people instead of 40, and there really is more privacy. If my roommates are watching a movie, and I want to study, I can simply shut my bedroom door. Couldn't do that last year. So yeah, while I had a lot of doubts about how this would work out, so far, I'm pleased with this set up.
