New Room

Today I moved back to the city to get ready for the upcoming uni year. I'm living with 3 second-year girls who are all best buddies and on the same course, so trying to muscle in on the friendship group won't be easy. But I don't want things to be as awful as last year, so I'll try!


This is the view from my window! The train station. So I hear the trains go by, but it isn't as loud as I thought it'd be. Quite relaxing really, and interesting to watch all the commuters!

My room is the smallest, but means it's the cheapest. And it certainly feels a lot bigger than last year's room (though this is helped by the high ceilings and lots of storage space).


Biiiig bookshelves! Last year I didn't have my own shelves (well there was a bookcase for me outside my room but someone had already filled it with their crappy DVDs by the time I moved in even though they had their own bookcase). I don't actually have any of my textbooks yet so it's pretty empty.


Desk, which is messy already somehow. Finally got to put up my pony calendar =3 And you can also see my Blackened Sky double-vinyl which arrived before I did (I adore it so much!).


Tiny little drawers. They look really cute but they barely fit my hairbrush and accessories in. When I go home next I'll take all the empty bags with me and bring a mirror to go on top of them.


PINKIE PIE SHELF! They're not even all on there yet. And my bed and the biiiiig built-in closet. There are two rails in there, one behind the other. The only downside is that I have to stand on my pillow to reach anything that's in there. I'm planning to replace the shower curtain with a nice purple net curtain I've had for a while but never used.

And that's my new room! So much nicer than my old one. It even has double glazing, and no noisy boiler!

Moving

Soooo this morning I moved back to the city. I've spent all day unpacking and trying to make the place more homey.

Now I'm not going to lie, I hate this house. Like really hate it. All the paint is peeling both in and outside, it has a horrible smell, damp and dirty and cramped. Thankfully my room is bigger than I remembered it being and my housemates have apparently decided that since I was shoved in the box room I get to pay less rent starting next month (£220 instead of £320...absolute bargain! My money worries are over ='D).

I tried to take some pictures, but the room is too small to really capture any of it haha. Had to stand in the corridor.


This is as much of the room as I could get in!


Shelves.


Something tells me this boiler won't be my friend for long...although it does seem to match my laptop!

So as you can see, pretty small. I had a huge chest of drawers in my last room which I'm missing terribly. I brought hardly any clothes with me and I've filled up most of the room already and had to stick my shoes on top of the wardrobe where I can barely reach!

At least I brought some posters to make it a little more me. And my Yu-Gi-Oh calendar is hung up on the wall I couldn't take a photo of, along with a scarf and flower headband~

Hoping to get one of those mirrors you hang inside wardrobes, since I forgot to bring my mirror with me and there's nowhere for it to go anyway.

About to go explore after eating some lunch. I don't really have a clue where I am, other than near Bath and in housing estate central.
