Documenting the Year of the Decrepid Apartment

Ok, so maybe Glenwood isn't that bad, but after Wyview it definitely seems so...

Just about the only storage space I have is under my bed. That's why it's stacked on cinder blocks, which also provide storage themselves, surprisingly. :)

Christine's lovely decorating skills with helmets.

So.. we had a leak in out kitchen ceiling above the fridge. The cabinet above the fridge got taken down and now takes up space in our already crowded kitchen.

The lovely hole in our ceiling

Ta-da!

My fridge in my room. Gives me about 4 times the space allotted in our shared fridge.

Now freezer space, there's nothing we can do about that. It's so packed we have to duct tape it shut.

Tonight our bishopric put together this cool activity.
Each boys apt got a box of cake mix with a number on it and each girl's apt got a can of frosting with a number on it. The boys had to go around and find the apt that matched the number on their box, then they all made the cake together. It was really fun! And the cake turned out delicious!

We played Nertz while we were waiting for the cake to bake. My roommate Deba has so many decks of cards that she has to draw on the backs of them to keep them separate. lol Really good idea actually! (Everyone uses their own deck for the game Nertz)

Our living room wall is covered with sheet music. It's pretty awesome.

We even have records on the wall.

Well, besides the fact that the apartment's falling apart daily, I think it's going to be a pretty good year. I really like my roommates and the ward seems good, too. Only time will tell...

I always stacked my bed on cinder blocks, too. Best way to get some storage for sure! But, it's a bad, bad day when you stub your toes on those cinder blocks.
