Miscellaneous

Several very unrelated topics:

1. I found this in a little coffee shop right by my house. It's a magnetic board little kids can play with, and this was already on the wall!! They're a little early though... have the age wrong...


Miss you, Bidge!

2. Here's a picture of my house for you, Ma:


3. Long story, but my roommate moved out, so I switched rooms into a smaller single, and the two girls in this room now live in my big, old room. But now I have a (makeshift) big bed! My new digs:

Perfectly organized, obviously.

4. The other girl in a single in my house, Liz, and I went to Long Street today, a big busy street known for its nightlife, restaurants, and shops. After about two hours there, I miraculously came home with nothing! But scouted out things that I'll undoubtedly acquire later... Although, I did find this hippopotamus coffee table that has to come to Belmont (sorry, Claire). He's smiling!


5. Last but certainly not least, we (my house) went to our housing coordinator's place for dinner. And by housing coordinator, I mean surrogate grandmother, and by dinner, I mean four course meal complete with African bean soup, chicken lasagna, sweet potato cakes, and hot mulled wine. Here's a picture of my house! Cape Town is for Lover's.


Clockwise from left:

Also things of note:

1. I saw a baboon on campus today. Because that's totally normal.
2. My quest for a leather jacket is failing so far.
3. Although I did find a sweet antique book on the history of women's underwear.
4. My space heater is my new best friend.
