The First Few Days Part II

Day 2: Move-in!!!!

This was a little more of a stressful day with an early start to go get my keys and move some initial luggage up to the room. Then, my aunt and uncle arrived. Thankfully, they were able to help me move all my boxes from a classmate's apartment across the river into my dorm. After some wrong turns, wacky space-saving methods to maximize the trunk space of a Camry,
and carrying the boxes up a flight of stairs, we took a break to head for lunch. Sharon was so kind to start the unpacking process while we were moving boxes; I was able to take advantage of her organizational skills to help maximize my dorm room.
After getting settled in the room a bit, we took a long journey out to meet my aunt and uncle to go to Target and Walmart. I was able to get the items I needed (that I remembered at the time) including a mini-fridge and TV. There was still a little go, but after cleaning up more this Saturday afternoon, I was able to get the room organized to satisfied level.

There's amazingly even enough room for a full air mattress. Originally I thought I bought a twin one, but when I opened it up, voila, it was a full. Good thing my room is just big enough to fit it! The bathroom was a little more disappointing. The moment I walked in, I exclaimed, "It's like a cruise ship bathroom." It's so tiny and has very little counter and storage space; so my solution has been to get suction cup bins that I stick on the mirror to hold all my stuff. It's really classy looking. :P
