Accommodations

While is Spain, I am living in a single in a residence hall. Each room has its own bathroom and a shared kitchen. I must admit, it is much nicer than anywhere I've lived at Larry U. Although the view isn't quite as inspiring.

Here are some pictures:

This is what you see from the door.

To the immediate left of my door is my closet, followed by the folding chair (left of photo) and my bed. The attractive brown blanket is courtesy of the Universidad de Salamanca.

The foot of my bed is in the left side of this pict. Here, my single shelving unit topped by my collection of Spanish-language newspaper and my newly acquired rocks is visible.

My very empty bookshelf and LU banner from Kelly. All of my books are actually from home (I put them all in my carry-on because they were too heavy for my checked bag. They were very heavy in my carry-on also). Also there's a prize for anyone who knows exactly what every book is (I think there is only 1 person in the world, other than me, who could know that).


My desk and window. The shelves are in the left corner of the photo.

The view. None of the windows have screens, so people can hang their laundry out to dry, but I'm on the first floor, so that doesn't really work for me.

The empty wall. My desk is to the left. The door on the left leads to my kitchen, and the door on the right is the bathroom door.

Bathroom with drying rack on the door and a ridiculous water heater that's set at 75 degrees C (and I can't change it).

Shower with drying laundry on it.

The only hooks in my room.

The door. Bathroom on the left and closet and bed on the right.

Kitchen. The door leads to my kitchen-mate's room.

Kitchen table, window and cleaning supplies (supplied by USal).

Stove, sink, cupboards, refrigerates and scary microwave oven (it's an oven and a microwave (hence the name), and the first time I tried to use it to heat up water, it made burning smells, and I burned my finger on the heating coil on the top. I have since figured out how to use the microwave setting, but I haven't really experimented much with the oven setting).

My room feels really bare, because everything in it (minus sheets) fit in one suitcase (I still managed to have a surprising amount of stuff), but it is starting to feel more homey.
Fortunately, it is really easy to keep clean.
