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.
