It has been a while since I've blogged anything merely because I think my life is boring and have nothing to say. But now I am back at the University of Puget Sound and have a lot to talk about. I got back to beautiful Tacoma on Friday which was both exciting and sad at the same time. For one, it is the last time I will ever have to check in and pick up keys for my living quarters at Puget Sound. This really scares me. But also I will be starting a new chapter of my life in May.
This year I am living in a house on campus. This is a change from the tiny apartment I was in last year. We have a HUGE kitchen with just about every appliance you can think of. Coffee makers, rice cookers, and crock pots GALORE! We went to the store yesterday and I stocked up a ton of healthy food (which will make Monica proud). I was pretty proud of the breakfast I made this morning...a fried broken yolk egg on a piece of toast and a chopped up apple. Of course, with a large cup of coffee. Then I was cleaning my room and walked out to the kitchen to throw something away and saw that my housemate made pancakes. JEALOUS.
Our house has a great dynamic. Except for one thing. We have a housemate who transferred here but she isn't trying to get to know us at all. I am the only one living on the first floor of the house and she is NEVER down here. I haven't seen her in the kitchen and she doesn't have any food stored down here either. She is always in her room or not in the house but we don't know when that is because her door is usually closed. We are having a house dinner tonight and making Tacos so Tiana and I went up there to ask her if she would like to join us and her door was cracked but the lights were off and so I lightly knocked but she was napping.
Other than that little hiccup, everything is running smoothly here on the north end. Today we set off the smoke detector for the first time. It only took us 2 days. That must be a record. I was sitting in my room straightening my hair and it starts going off so then I frantically unplug my straightener thinking I caused a fire of some sort. Then I walk into the kitchen to see if anyone burned anything once I realized it wasn't me. It was completely smoke free. After 5 minutes of searching the house to see what had caused the fire and calling security, Liesl realized that after she took a shower and opened the bathroom door the steam was excessive. I never knew steam from a shower would set off the smoke detector.
Crisis Averted.
