My Flat

    I was thinking of dedicating a post to my room, because I have had some of the strangest/scariest experiences here. Above is a picture of my bed area after I took a little nap. I added a little character to my room with my blanket over the comforter. Although its very cute, I bought my blanket simply for the purpose of keeping warm. I am so so cold all of the time here. Erika got one too, but hers is the traditional flag colors.
We have people come in and make our beds, vacuum, wipe things down, and throw out the rubbish (trash) every day here. They are called "bedders" and I have grown particularly fond of mine. I asked his name once, but he has a thicker accent so I didn't quite get it. He comes in every day at 9 ish, I like how dependable he is. Sometimes I get a different lady, and I get very disappointed because my guy is just so efficient and kind, and he even lays out my bunny when he makes my bed. I think he likes me too because he calls my room "the bunny room" which of course has led me to lay out the bunny in a funny place almost every time I wake up early enough.
    Also, I recently discovered that I am not watching super lazy people all of the time across the street from me, but I am in fact watching the young men at Cavendish Laboratories (read more here: Cavendish Labs). This is an amazing thing to be spying on because it is the place where both DNA and the electron were discovered, as well as many many more incredible scientific discoveries were made. On the right is a picture of their Labs from my window.
    I had a small gas leak earlier in my room as well, which apparently can be deadly, so I am lucky I got it fixed pretty fast. I think it was my fault because I wanted to make it warmer and so I just turned all of the nobs and pulled on things, and I have learned that is not the way to do it.
   Another scary incident happened just yesterday. I was sitting on my bed reading some Kant, when all of the sudden I heard scratching at the door. It reminded me a lot of my kitten Shaina when she tries to get in, so I didn't think much of it at first, but then I clued in when I didn't hear the familiar call of my Mom yelling down the hall "SHAAAIINAAA! You better stop that!" Needless to say I got up to investigate. I crept up slowly to the door, and the scratching persisted, I wasn't sure what it was, but it was BIG. It was loud and scratching from a good height on my door. I thought for sure some sort of English raccoon had found its way up three flights of stairs and was trying to get in. But, me being me, I had to look. The scratching was getting really vigorous at this point and I knew I was going to need some help to get out of this situation from animal control, or whatever they have here like that. So I slowly opened the door to determine what sort of creature I was dealing with. Imagine my surprise when I discovered two students outside of my door, just as scared to see me. Apparently they thought that someone else lived there, and they were so frightened and embarrassed they literally ran from me. They were trying to scare someone entirely different. I was relieved, but still scared to see them.
   Overall the rooms are amazing, they are large and it is really nice to have a single. I have never lived all alone without a roommate and I found it really boring. I miss living at the Tri Delta House and having Suzi to talk to when I am in bed and hangout with. But soon I will be living back at home, and I am excited for that too. I am gonna really like seeing my family again. I never knew I would miss all of the things I do about my house. For example, I miss having a TV, and having a sofa to watch it on. Also, I miss DVR so I can watch Rizzoli and Isles with my mom and Dexter with my Dad. Luckily I will be home soon. :)
