Dorm Life

   I realized I never posted pictures of the room I actually live in... (as opposed to the one for orientation) so here they are.





Not as nice as our first dorm, but it has its perks.  (Particularly showering in private.)

We cleaned the place up a bit last weekend... getting lots of nasty mold off the shower walls.




Here the shower and sink are in a room and the toilet in another--usually Korean bathrooms have them together, but there's not usually a shower "stall" - it's just the shower head on the wall as seen in the picture.

Note also the mattress -- two inches thick.  Oddly enough, doesn't seem to pose too much of a problem for sleeping--in fact, I kind of like the firm bed.  A little more cushion wouldn't hurt, though.





And here is my closet, with favorite items having been selected to be packed for these four months.  I had read somewhere to pick a color and pack using that as the basis for your wardrobe.  I didn't heed that--consciously, that is.  But when I got here, I realized my clothing selections are overwhelmingly purple or match with purple.  I think I've wore at least one purple item each day.  Seriously--purple coat, purple jacket, purple shirts, purple scarf, purple shorts (of all things), purple in my umbrella, purple in my socks... it gets a little ridiculous.







And I take all these pictures with my purple camera. 



Even the picture of the purple camera is taken with a purple phone.

I think my favorite color is yellow or orange.  But then again, the evidence proves otherwise...




Something I realized while packing, though--it's amazing how little you can live off of.  I mean, how much of the junk you bring to college do you actually use?  (Apparently mostly the purple stuff...)

So, that's "dorm life."  Except, dorm life is a lot more exciting than that.  I'll cover that in the next post, hopefully.
