My Flat

For those of you who thought I would be in my flat and ready before orientation, you were half right.  I was able to get into my flat, but getting it all set up has been a much longer process than I originally thought it would be.  My mom and I have been very busy unpacking, re-decorating, having the plumbing and electricity fixed, and setting up all accounts (banking, internet, etc).  Moving is not a quick nor painless process, there have been many frustrating instances over the last week plus.

However, I love my flat.  I am on the top floor of the building and have a great view of Younger Hall (one of the buildings of the University) and even a partial view of the ocean.  Climbing all four flights of stairs with my luggage was not the easiest of feats, but I got it done without too much trouble.  Now that I am in, Mom and I have even managed to cook a couple of breakfasts and dinners.

Below are pictures of my flat, some of the town and university.  My flat is big enough to hosts a guest or two at a time, Facebook or email me with your preference and I will get the sign-up sheet started. :-)

Younger Hall, my view from the front door

This is me.... I am not sure why there is a 52a yet.  There is a 54 and a 52 on either side of me.  Confusing.

The view out my bedroom.  It reminds me of Marry Poppins.

Bedroom with a bed that I don't actually hang off the end of.

Kitchen with washing machine.  It is a tight fit, but functional and with everything I need.

My awesome Mom found these for me and I LOVE them

We found these on Amazon UK and couldn't resist

A little bit of home

Of course Jr. and Audrey belong together!

Don't mind my backpack in the corner... also, I couldn't come without my favorite blanket

My Mom found this for my table

I know this is more England than Scotland, but they were so cute and I needed seat pads
