I got my own room next year! Woo-hoo! I'm super excited, as you can tell.

My room will be in University College, which everyone seems to think I got stuck with or something, like no one would want to live there. I don't know. But no, it was my first choice. It's a single room -- which is what I wanted -- and it's cheaper than living in Speechly again. Actually, it's cheaper to get a single room in UC than the double room I've got now.

Plus, I won't have to eat at Pembina Hall all the time. Sweet.

So this is what my room will look like next year:

It is approximately 125 square feet, says the Housing and Student Life website. Which isn't bad, because I measured my double room and it's about 180 square feet. so it's just like, 6 feet shorter (cause my room isn't square) but the width is the same. So I'm happy.

You may notice the small, small window. But that's okay. I don't care. I had a huge window this year, and I didn't really care for it.

Reasons I don't care about having a big window:

• a big window let's more cold in in the winter time
• a big window let's more sunshine in on weekends when I'm trying to sleep
• there is nothing to look at out the window anyway
• a big window means there's more of a chance that someone is looking in

So, I don't really mind having a small window. I like that it is right above the bed, though ... if the diagram is right. The diagram that I looked up online for the double room I have now isn't exactly the same as what my room looks like. Plus, every room is a little different anyway. So it might not be exactly correct, but if it is, I really like the idea of having a little window above my bed.

I am excited.

So I will pay my $500.00 downpayment next week and hope I get into my program.

I don't think I have anything to worry about though. I'm not too worried.
