Living Quarters

Hi Gang. Today I am going to share with you my living space. It takes me about 5 minutes to walk to the main campus and then another 5 or so to get to the building where first semester students have all of their lectures. So, in the grand scheme of things, I am fairly close to campus. Here's what my place looks like:


Walking up to my apartment. As you can see there is still quite a bit of construction on my building (I didn't know about this when I arranged for housing prior to arrival). I think that I am the only tenant so far. My apartment is the one closest to end that we are looking at. Around here there aren't any street names and the apartments are named after the landlord.



This is the entrance way to my apartment. That's my door on the left. Everything down here is concrete. I am guessing that they build everything that way to withstand hurricanes. This picture was taken at about 3:30 in the afternoon.





This is my kitchen and dining area. I think it speaks for itself. The bowl that is in the drying rack is the one that I used last night for dinner. I had a fresh mango and some almonds. The mango was very sweet, not quite ripe because it was stringy, but very sweet.





This is my bedroom area. There is a bathroom with a shower off of my bedroom. I have a TV and small desk in here too. Its small and humbling, but its home for now.

And finally, for those of you that couldn't see the cows in the pictures from yesterday, I took this pic for you. This is my mooing buddy. She's always standing the same place chewing on something. Maybe one day I will get a little closer and take a better picture of this friend of mine.

Amy...I love your place! It is sooooo much better than I was afraid it might be. I am sure this is extreme luxury to some of the islanders. It's kinda of a bummer that you don't have neighbors yet, though. Maybe some more students will move nearby.
You have a tv, but do you have anything to watch??
Nickie can name your cadaver...I'll name your cows :)
Thanks for posting the pics!
