I got a chance to stop by my new room today. It had already been furnished with a bed, a wooden cabinet, and a mini bookshelf. There was also a portable fan and a heater. The room is well-lit and has two doors; one leads to the inside of the house (living room, bathroom, and kitchen), and the other is a separate entrance to the front of the house, or to the garden area in the backyard. I really like this room so far. I will need a desk of some sort. I might have to stop by Ikea and buy a TV stand. The lady owner showed me a flat screen TV in her room and said I could use it so I that don't have to buy a new one (so cool of her). I now officially have two places to stay, but I probably won't furnish this room until late December or early January.
The lady house owner seemed really nice, which is a big relief. She left a good impression when she helped me clean the room, and told me to let her know if I was going to sleep there tonight so that she could put a drape up from outside the window to keep the heat in.
I chatted with the family for a bit, and then took a nap. My parents stopped by at night without warning to check up on me through the other entrance. I think will stop by this place more often when this fall quarter/semester ends.
