Student Life

We went to visit Bob this weekend. He has been accepted into the school of music at FSU. I have to laugh at the difference in what was advertised for his apartment and what he actually got. It's a nice enough place and good enough for a young man just starting off.




Everything in the advertisement
 showed such bright coloring. The place was dark, dark, dark.....but Bob likes dark. He says now he doesn't need a sleeping mask.




Maybe it's because girls live in the advertised apartment?
It is cooled like a hotel room. See that fan at the front of the
bike?  That is a hole in the wall that leads to the bedroom. It
circulates the cool air by sucking it in through that fan. Strange system.
I suppose now I understand why the electricity might skyrocket to over $$300
a month.



That microwave beside the stove....we bought for $39.
That was the smallest one we could find. That counter
is about 2 foot wide. The spaciousness of the advertisement is amazing.






I don't think I could have stepped back far enough to get the shot of the kitchen that the advertising photographer got.

Maybe it is just my inability to take a good photograph that really makes the difference.




The other housing on the street are for sororities. Now that is a plus for any young man!!
Rather Bob likes the apartment or the location is all that really matters.......and as far as he's concerned.....He is living in heaven.
Next purchase on the list............ a ladder.
