Okay... so I know I said my other room was a keeper and that I was okay with having a long, narrow room smaller than everyone else's as long as I got a real closet instead of those bulky freestanding wardrobes. But I changed my mind. As my "things to take to college" pile up (three chests of plastic drawers, two storage ottomans, one futon, one vanity, two folding stools, etc etc etc), I began secretly fretting to myself that my long, narrow dorm room would end being a crowded cave. So I decided that if a larger room in my dorm building were to open up, I would take it. I signed on the other day to see if anything had opened up... and voila! Something was open... on the next floor up. A room roughly 12x13... and on the corner of the building! Two windows on the north wall and two windows on the west wall. This is exciting because my bedroom at home only has one wall facing south. Now I get to see the sunset every evening! Oh, and some other pluses: I'm next-door to the den, which means I have easy access to the kitchenette as opposed to being all the way down the hall from it. I'm also closer to the stairs, elevator, and bathroom. Now I have an extra 30-or-so square feet to work with. That's a pretty big difference.
Now to figure out my furniture arrangement. ;)
Amore.
