With a view like this…
…there should be no complaining of boredom or bad days or a host of other things I heard last year.
This is the view from the darling twins college dorm room.
I think they are settled in and ready for a very good year.
We drove up last weekend to deliver a few odds and ends they forgot and took them to dinner.
It is really beautiful up in the small town where they go to school.
For the first time in their 19 years, they are not sharing a room.
Well, sort of not sharing a room.
They are suite mates in this brand new dormitory.
Which means they still share a bathroom but they have separate bedrooms.
A bathroom that is much bigger than all four darling Humpfreeze children share at home.
They have two showers between the four suite mates but only one toliet – go figure?!
Wizzy is rooming with Meadows and Roger Leroy lucked out and is by herself.
It took my covert photography skills to snap a picture of their trash can.
Meadows did her best to stand guard over it but she should know better.
It was refreshing to see some habits never change.
They also explained the story behind the one poster they are allowed on the wall.
Something about their social director status but I wasn’t clear on the monkey pictures.
But then we were walking to the car for dinner, Roger Leroy had to stop for a minute.
And the monkey pictures all made perfect sense.
Hey Jenna,
Roger Leroy is keeping everything very neat until you arrive next semester.
You are going to love the new rooms! I was even impressed with the “hotel” door locks. Hope your mom and dad copy and print this to include in your next letter from home so you can see your new room.
Side note: Jenna arrives for second semester but she’s at her Army National Guard AIT at Ft. Leonard Wood.
Don’t worry Wizzy and Meadows, I know you both pass room inspection with flying colors and you keep your room clean too.
It was a lovely Sunday evening visiting with the darling twins and we’re thankful they have such lovely new digs!
Really though, did anyone else have a view out their college dorm room window like this?
I’ll go first.
No.
My room overlooked a parking lot and the TKE and Sig Ep house.
I’ve got yours beat Sherra….mine had a beautiful view of six lanes of I-75 in Forsyth, GA.
My view started off as a pile of rubble from a convent that got knocked down and when that was removed it was an empty lot where folks from the welfare hotel burned things and had fights. On the other hand if I pressed my face against the window and turned my head at an odd angle, I could kinda see a church that Woody Allen used in one of his movies. I went to college in New York City.
Sometimes the view of the TKE house was probably OK though… just to see who was coming in and out of there. It would have been better if it was the OX or ATO houses there, I’m sure you’d have seen many interesting sights out of those houses!
My view wasn’t so bad as I had a corner room 1st semester, freshman year. One way, I looked out on the parking lot of McMike and the other window looked out onto the Student Center where everyone had to go to get mail and to eat all meals. I couldn’t see the OX house, Peggy, or maybe we would have met sooner!!! LOL
Jenna will love this.
Will try to get her pictures
Mom,
The view is great don’t get me wrong but it would be so much prettier if I was a civilian lol. Also I’m a little stressed about the trash picture but I have never done bad in a room inspection. I still feel like I am rooming with Rachel because she is always in the suite. So I think of it as I have two roommates.
