I thought the previous post was getting long enough, so I'm adding pictures separately here. This is the University Lodge, the residence I'm staying in. My room is on the first floor, and I think my window is the one to the right of the palm tree. Pretty eh?

Unfortunately my room isn't quite so pretty. While it isn't quite as messy as it looks in these 2 pictures, having only two closeable drawers, and the rest of the storage space open and exposed lends to a generally untidy look. I'll be looking for somewhere else to live when my 3 months are up if not before.














This tree is my favorite on the way to school, so gnarled and spread out.

A sink from a bathroom on campus. Instead of soap dispensers, some of the bathrooms have little bars of soap (look to the left of the hot water tap).
