Well, so far, I think that it’s safe to say that i have one of the more social Masters flats in our building. I will make sure to post photos of the rooms here, but they are HUGE! None of us who came with a few measly suitcases can figure what we’re going to do with all this space. My parents stayed in my room, so it comfortably fits three single (twin) beds. There is also a full bath in my room. Now, don’t go getting excited about this seemingly wonderful “loo”. If airplanes had full bathrooms, they would model them after our bathrooms. For the life of us we can’t figure why the rooms are so big, but none of us have enough room to stand in the shower with the curtain closed. I’m trying to master it, but every time that I go to wash my feet, my butt accidentally hits the water fixture (which is WAY too bulky) and changes the water temp to scalding hot. I do have a wonderful picture window (with no screen, you should see the mosquitos they have here, in our rooms) and I fully plan to pretend I’m Carrie Bradshaw as I do my homework romantically in front of it.
Our flat is actually pretty fun. We constantly have people from other floors coming to our floor for dinner. We walk to the local Sainsbury’s grocery nearly every day. My friend Jocelyn and I had one walk home with about 5 plastic bags before we Tubed it to Notting Hill to pick up one of those old lady “trolley” carts to wheel our groceries. Most nights are filled with loud talking and laughing, “cooking” if you want to call it that and wine, beer or alcohol of some sort. During the first week, we’ve had a lot of randoms on the floor as you’ll see from the prison lineup photos that I’ve posted. None of the girls are much impressed with the guys yet, but most everyone who lives in halls is either international or an undergrad, so we’ll have to wait until classes actually start.
Check out the photos!
