| My bedroom |
Yesterday after arriving in Oxford, Penelope and Francis loaded my bags into their car and Penelope drove me to my flat in Venneit Close. I was first greeted by another Olivia (from Mercer College) who lives on the first floor with Cameron and Adrie (my fellow students from Hendrix). I live on the third floor with Britney (also from Mercer). The people who live on the second floor in the flat between our two are a mystery...somewhat. Last night we had dinner in my apartment. Olivia and Adrie told Cameron they were going upstairs and later when he came to join, it didn't occur to him to continue to the third floor. As a result he burst into No. 20 with a big "Hello!" After a paused, "Hello?" from a stranger's voice, Cameron quickly turned around with a "Sorry...Wrong one...They told me...K bye!" Oops.
Our apartment is fairly new. In fact we are currently waiting on someone to come finish grouting the shower. It's also much larger than I expected. We each have our own bedroom and bathroom. Plus there is a third bedroom. A guest bed! Or maybe we will make it into a laundry room...or a game room...or board it up and just say it's haunted.
Later I plan to go to the poster store so that the walls in my room don't look so bare. However the more clothes I throw on the floor, the more I start to think it looks like home. The kitchen is also coming along. We stored our first leftovers last night and this morning I opened my first jar of marmalade for some toast. The only sad thing is that there is no dishwasher. (There is however the combination washing machine/dryer located under the kitchen counter...a sexist joke, I think.) Dishes will have to be done by hand. Therefore would you be surprised that this morning I ate my toast on a paper towel?
