Since arriving, a chief aim has been to nest my room. There is much to be done- a city and transportation system to figure out, groceries to buy, ID cards to pick up, things for which to register... but in the midst of it all, I still felt that making my space cozy and homey was valuable and legitimate. My small labors have come together thus far to produce a place I find pleasingly cozy and peaceful.
There is still a blank wall to be reckoned with and some other odds and ends to be acquired for my project to be fully completed, but some of it will have to be done in bits and pieces, because for now I have to get down to some serious reading for my classes which start just after New Years!
