Lodgings

Here are some pictures of my lodgings.


From the bed to front door with wicker furniture, dresser, and wardrobe.


Kitchen counter with 1 burner gas stove for hot water for shaving and tea/coffee


From front door showing whole room


Bed and desk area

The wicker furniture and carpet are new! When I arrived I had only the chair by the front door. The mattress on the bed is HARD!

I do not spend much time here as I am busy most of the day and also there are evening activities. It is nice to have a quiet place to come home to as the Staff Dining Room can be quite noisy at meals times, noon especially when everyone eats together. Supper and breakfast are a little quieter as the Dorm Parents can eat in their quarters with their family. All the children eat in the Main Dining Room which is next door to the Staff Dining Room. If the connecting door is left open it is difficult to hear each other across the table.

All the dishes are tin. Tin plates, tin bowls, and tin cups. When people place their dirty dishes in the bucket there is quite a noise.

Today is Sunday with church at 11:00 this morning and then 7Up (Christian activity) for the 7"s and 8"s this evening. I will probably go for a walk in the Botanical Gardens just beside the school this afternoon.
