I don't think I have mentioned that everything in my room is very close to the ground- bed, bedside table, "sofa" and little table- they are all tiny. Needless to say it makes writing blog posts, emails, and weekly log updates for my internship coordinator a bit of a challenge. Knowing that the amount of writing I am going to be doing will shortly be increasing exponentially, I finally took the initiative to ask reception if there was any way to get a desk in my room. They told me to call housekeeping, which I was trying to avoid because they don't often understand what it is I need. Case in point: I called for a roll of toilet paper and a box of kleenex, and I got two bath towels, two rolls of toilet paper, and a handful of soaps and shampoos! I did finally get my kleenex though. Back to the story: I called housekeeping, and as I expected I shortly had a manager at my door trying to figure out what it was I wanted. I explained by putting my hand against the wall, saying "I need a desk that's taller than the table" he said "but your room is so small" (thanks, I hadn't noticed!) and I said yes but I have to do a lot of writing and it is very difficult to do on my lap. So, off he went again, and came back with two guys carrying a desk! Yaaay! So I got my desk, and the accompanying chair is the nicest piece of furniture in my room.
I did save all these pictures so they would be straight-on, but for some reason they have all come out sideways again. So I hope you can get the gyst of my layout. So here is my abode for three months, and although small it has become quite comfortable. The bed is hard as a rock, litterally; I sleep with earplugs in because of the street noise, so I just keep my phone alarm on noise plus vibrate and the vibration wakes me up no problemo. Mom and Leanne had a good laugh at me hitting my bed so they could hear how hard it was! Thankfully I have adjusted to the hardness, and although I very much miss my giant, soft, queen-sized bed I am getting along just fine. As I have mentioned, one of the things that is helping keep me grounded is my job searching and summer class planning for once I return. I had a pretty bad day today, wasn't feeling well thanks to my chicken cutlet dinner- aka GREEN CHILLIES POUNDED INTO MEAT AND FRIED, so although I tried to pick around them I had a pretty long night. I didn't go to work today so my meetings will be rescheduled either for tomorrow or the next day, but I had a nice long sleep and have done some things around my room and have also finalized my preliminary essay proposal to hopefully go over with James tonight so I can get the for realz one in on Thursday night or Friday before we take off to the Tea estates! More info to come. XOX

Good to see your humble and miniature abode! Do you miss your fluorescent pink walls?
