A Room with a View


This is the view from the window of my dorm room. It looks out into the courtyard of Exeter. Windows being open is key as there is no air conditioning, and so far it's been surprisingly sunny and warm. The best part about my dorm room is that it's a single room. I was pleased to have been given some privacy.



I have a desk, and I finally have internet in my room. (For some reason the college will only let us have access to the wireless nextwork for 14 of the 20 days.)



I have a wash basin, so at least I have running water and can brush my teeth without walking down to the next floor.


A wee bed and a closet. Seriously, that bed is small. It's much thinner than a twin bed, and my feet inevitably hang off the bottom no matter how close I am to the head board.



A heater in the remains of a fireplace, a bench. It's a looking at bench, I think.

The rooms are really not bad, though everything is horribly creaky--I always feel like I wake everyone up every time I leave my room at night.

Evidently you have a lookin' at fireplace, too. And while you're at it, you might as well call that a lookin' at bed.

I don't know. Technically it does still produce heat, so might we call it a face lift?

I'll make no excuse for the bed, however. It's pathetic.
