Normal Life

I guess I should describe my day-to-day at some point.

1. I'll give you the virtual tour of my room!

It might seem a bit small in this picture, but I kid not, this is the same size as my Maseeh Hall double last year... It pains me to think how my roomie and I lived in such a small confined space.

It's an en-suite, so I have my own bathroom!

The view from my room which is on the 1st (2nd) floor. Prime creeping spot (jkbnr*...)

I live in Castle End, the newest of the dorms in the Colony. The Colony is off of Clare's main site, but it's where most 2nd years and a few 3rd and 4th years live.

Closet

[Note to people who have ever lived near me:] Look long and hard- this is the neatest my closet has ever been. Maybe because of the fact that I have a fraction of the stuff with me right now.
But give me some credit :)

Every Tuesday, a bedder (Maria) comes in to clean our rooms and bathrooms. She's really nice and friendly too :) She vacuums, wipes down our bathroom floor/shower/sink/windows, restocks toilet paper, and empties our trashcan. Wat. Contrast that to MIT where, sure, I never cleaned or emptied my trash but consequently lived in shithole. I love Cambridge.

2. My first cooked meal!

I've also been cooking a lot more in Cambridge. The buttery (cafeteria) is on Clare's main site which is 10 minutes (obviously too far) away from me, so I've been resorting to sitting on my ass and cooking in the kitchen two steps away from me instead.

First meal I ever cooked (I guess cereal doesn't count :/ ) was pork and cabbage below (this photo's from a while back):

Teresa taught me to season meat with soy sauce and a Chinese 5-spice mix. She's right, it's soo good!

Fooooood.
