The Apartment

Okay, I've been promising pictures of the apartment and campus. Bonnie loaned me her camera, so I was able to take some photos of my day to day life. I'll start with some pictures of the apartment this time. This is from outside. The small part that juts out is home sweet home. It's been converted from a garage, as you may have figured out from the side painted brown.


This is the living room/bedroom, as seen from the front doorway. The bookshelf in the background separates the kitchen from the rest of the room.
This is the living room/bedroom again, looking back toward the front door. (Callie says hi!)
This is the small kitchen, with no counter space at all. The microwave and coffee maker perch on top a dresser. Next to the stove is the door that leads down into the bathroom. The dresser is on the wall on the other side of the door.
Cooking in the kitchen involves some planning, and often perching things on the stove and sink area. This is the preparation for making a salad for Thanksgiving. Someday, I will have counters, in that far distant mythical future when I have a real job, or something like that. The bookshelf often doubles as an area for a cooling rack. These are the pumpkin rolls I made from Thanksgiving, perching up there.

It's small, but close to campus and downtown. The public library is only 3 blocks away. The main campus library (where classes are) is only a 15 minute walk, and the Education Library is 20-25. What it lacks in grandeur, it makes up for in convenience. Besides, it's darned easy to clean, so there's something to be said for smallness.
