The apartment is on the 2nd floor, kind of at the end/middle. It's kind of complicated to explain, but we're in the middle of the complex or "village," but at the end of the row (there's a "pathway" through the middle of the complex). We're actually 2nd to last, but not bad. We have a view of the (or a) soccer field and the "mountains" too. MUCH better than a hallway, the inner part of the complex (view of the other rooms), the parking lot, or road. I also feel a little safer being on the second floor. I can leave my bedroom window open and all that. We have electronic key access into our apartment (think hotel key, but we "wave" this small black square-ish thing in front instead of swiping) and a personal key to our bedroom in the apartment. Kind of funny, but nice too. If you had a roommate you didn't get along with or they had a friend you didn't trust, you can lock your room!
I'm excited to go to class, but the no car thing worries me a little. I know once I get used to it and where everything is it'll be okay, but it still worries me. I do know, even if I had my license (still working on it!), there's no way I could afford the gas, insurance, upkeep and all that. As is, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pay my $60/month phone bill. LoL
I have to buy a few more things, but I have quite a lot already (in the way of things I need). Not a whole lot more I need. I'll mainly be buying food tomorrow.
I do wish I had something up on the wall over my bed, though. It's so...plain...I have a calendar up next to the desk and one over the bookshelf next to the door, but the wall over my bed looks too plain. I wish I had brought a poster from home now. I could have brought a movie poster. Or I wish I bought one from the aquarium (more fitting). We'll see, though. I did bring my plants (even though one is dying and I'm not sure why considering I've kept it alive for 4-5 years now), which has helped cheer up my desk and room a great deal. I also have a small stained glass mobile with horse heads on it my mom got me for Christmas. So...at least the right side of my room (desk side) is cheerful. I suppose a bed is supposed to only be used for sleeping. LoL I admit there are two weird things for me being in this room - so far. 1) I'm using a closet with doors. I know that sounds funny, but you have to remember I've had a walk-in closet for the past 9 years! My closet at home is all "organized." Here, everything is on the same bar. LoL Plus, I have to move doors to get to the other end of my closet. Sad, aren't I?
2) I have to leave my room to get to the bathroom. Again, sounds weird, but I've had my own personal bathroom IN my room for the past 9 years! My room is the old master bedroom. So you walk through my room door and there's a hallway with the bathroom and closet door off to the left. Sharing a bathroom isn't bad (I have done it before with my brothers and Kristi), it's just the fact I have to leave my room to use the bathroom. I am glad that each of us gets our own medicine cabinet, though. I managed to fill mine up somehow...Kind of sad considering I won't use the majority of that stuff much at all. Oh well. Anyway, with that. I think I'll read and hit the sack. I haven't been sleeping much the past few days. Pictures to come!
