End of week 3

So after 3 weeks, finally starting to settle in a bit and develop somewhat of a routine and get just a little bit more comfortable.
It's amazing how the little things make you happy.  When I got here I was not aware that this was going to be like a dorm, although it is a building with four apartments on each floor and each apartment with 3 bedrooms and one full bath and one half bath.  In other words one shower for four people.
Better than last time I went to college when I had to camp while looking for housing.
However, last time I was prepared to camp.  This time I was not prepared for no towels, one sheet to cover the bed and one "comforter".  Two very small pillows. 
The kitchen has some cooking utensils, a few cups, plates bowls and a full set of silverware.

So the first day I had to dry myself with my tee shirts. 
Now I have a bath towel and regular towel. 
One king size sheet and one double.  I have queen size bed, but cannot find queen size sheets.
And everything is clean now, been washed a couple of times.
And yes, I have a full size pillow and two new pillow covers.  Wow, the luxury.
So it feels really good to have all this stuff :).  Even though the sheets are 50% polyester.  I could not find 100% cotton around here.  I think you have to go to the expensive mall for that.

I forgot what it is like to live with a bunch of college age kids.  I had to show one of them how to use the washer.  I don't think the other two have done laundry yet.  I cleaned the kitchen and the shower.  I don't think they realize how dirty they were.

But life is good.  I will write about the school, classes and the learning next time Insha'Allah.
