My dorm room pt 1

So I figured I'd add some pictures of my half of the room, because I can. This post is going to be just pictures of my desk area. Later on I'll show you my bed area and closet. But for now, this is all of my side of the room.

Here's what it looks like when you're standing in the doorway. You can see my Star Wars poster and bed, which is actually very comfortable. I've also got one of those "motivational" posters with a sweet sunset and railroad tracks in a field...yeah, it looks cool. Then there's my desk area and my printer/copier/scanner/fax/mini-fridge.


Here's the top of my desk. Note the awesome iPod speakers hooked up to the awesome TV playing an awesome show with an awesome Han Solo action figure. Yeah. I'm awesome. Under the top shelf is a cool but slightly unnecessary desk lamp, a few Christian trinkets that I like a lot, and Melvin. Yeah, I took my light-up, color-changing duck to college with me. First off, he's sick-nasty. Second-off, he's the first present Emily ever gave me, back before we were a we. Third-off, I can take a shower with all the lights off in the bathroom (aka the Room of Rest), and still see everything. You know you're jealous.


Better picture of the stuff on my second shelf, as well as the main desk-area. On the desk, I've got my external hard drive, my laptop, a few books that have now been moved to my bed area, my remote, and my sub-woofer. I'm a fan of my sound system. There's Melvin again. Still cool.

This one's for you, Erin. Look at how chill Han is. He's just sort of lounging out next to my speaker. He's got his gun. He's even got an earpiece with the white wire that makes it look like he's listening to an iPod. Maybe he is. He's Han Solo, he can listen to an iPod if he wants.

Here's that poster I got. It says "Opprotunity: All those who have achieved great things have been great dreamers." Isn't that cute. Forget the fortune cookie, check out that picture! Dig those colors in the sky, and the clouds and the fields! And you can't go wrong with train tracks. You know me.

There you have it. Me in all my glory and/or lack thereof. I like my little desk area. It's right next to the fridge, so that's convenient for when I want a drink. Well, it's 5:16 and I'm going to go eat disgusting amounts of great food because I can. Peace.

Sure, the fact that I gave you Melvin is second. I see how it is. Jerk. Just kidding. I love reading this boy. Keep it up. It's about time you actually keep something updated :)

and hey, i think i see my wolf box thing i gave you... maybe?

Dan said...

Yep! That's the box. And yeah, the fact that Melvin is sick-nasty pretty much trumps every other fact of life known to man.

Hey Dan, I'm a little worried about the Melvin thing, but the rest of the room photos/descriptions are awesome. I love being able to picture you there. And you are a great writer - I think you should make a movie! You know you can do it! I love that you thought of Lord of the Rings while you were hiking - and I REALLY love that you are growing in very deep ways. Keep it all up! Love, Aunt Jayne

You crack me up! Gee, if you spend half as much time studying as you did putting together this entry, there'll be no stopping you. Actually, I loved this entry. The only missing piece was a picture of me and dad on your desk, which would have earned you extra chocolate chip cookies the next time we visit. Oh well. You lose. (Did you make your bed just for the picture???) Love, Mom

Dan said...

Aunt Jayne: I'm decent at making short videos based off of songs that I like, but we'll leave the feature films to someone else, hahaha.

Mom: No, I've made my bed every day except one. I like to sit on my bed and read or watch TV (I mean, study), so it's been nice to have it made each day. I hate it when you're right about stuff.

Dad said...

Looks great Dan, we'll need the same shots in six months for comparison. keep up the good work!
Love Dad

Oh my gosh...does this bring back memories. All except the computer set up. Way back when...Jeff had a typewriter and I spent a few weekends typing last minute papers (yes sneaking into the guys dorm).

I just have one question. When do you find the time to keep to post all this info. It's great.

Mrs. B :o)
