Welcome to my space-efficient home!

So this is the view from my door , which is under the bed. That little bit of door beyond the corner of the yellow microwave is my bathroom, which is not quite as tiny as I had been expecting. The microwave is sitting on a chest of drawers.


The next picture is the view from my bathroom door looking out. The counter is at the immediate left here, so you can't see it too well, but it's your standard two hot plates and sink combo, with a sizeable fridge built in underneath.


To the right of all this is where that yellow microwave is, which is where I have a typical tall French window (looking in on the "courtyard" center of the surrounding buildings) and a little kitchen table that unfolds to be pretty decently sized, and has two little stools that get stowed underneath it on a built in cart. Very IKEA model room-esque.

It may be small, but I've survived dorm rooms that I liked far less (and that also contained people I disliked (NOT YOU DANA)), so this really doesn't even rank on the discomfort scale. I mean, I'm the stupid older sister that had first dibs on bedrooms when we moved from Connecticut to Manlius and chose the tiny bedroom, because it was 'cozy.' Go figure.

One small problem -- no electricity. No one seems to know what's wrong, but after many phone calls and frantic discussions, the ERDF (French electric company) should be paying me a visit tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed! On the plus side, the internet works, and if I had to choose between the two, I think I might prefer having the internet. At least briefly, the hot water heater is electric, and I can't sustain sink showers for much longer ... Or can I? KIDDING. Geez.
