The coffee, snack & breakfast bar.
Shower to the left, toilet to the right Basic Dorm Room
This is the view from my dorm room door. The hall the other direction is identical.
As you enter the "suite" there is a lovely furnitureless room with two small refrigerators and a microwave.
Well, I haven't posted anything in a couple of days because really there isn't much to report. There aren't any priests buying my drinks (Katie needs to explain that one) nor are there picture-postcard chickens posing to create humorous joke. Life here is pretty simple, although I must say I am enjoying most of it and the people are incredibly friendly.
I thought I'd share some of the wonderful interior architecture of my surroundings. Not that I am complaining. It works out to about $16. a night so I can't complain.
As you can see I haven't quite figured out how to upload photos to the blog and add a caption underneath and place them exactly where I want them. Where are Nicole & Katie when I need them?
But other than going to class from 10 until 12 and again from 1 until 5, there isn't much else to report. I should be writing some papers, but I can't get motivated. I plan to drive a couple of hours east on Friday to a town called Spring Green. It is famous for Frank Lloyd Wright's home and school called "Taliesin." Other than that I'm drawing, reading, and surfing the net so I can keep up with what is happening in the world.
The accents here are pretty funny. Kind of a cross between Canadian and North Dakotan. Some people have a very heavy "aboat" that surfaces frequently.
I'm alive. I'm well and after the weekend maybe I'll have something of interest to share.

haha. dorms are so ugly.
i never got the picture thing to work very well either--i found it was just easiest to place them all in the center, and then they won't overlap and you can write below all of them.
what do you have to write your papers on?
there was a guy on my trip from WI, and his wife was with him and they both had really funny accents.
Looks like you could open your doors and windows and crank up the volume on Who Let the Dogs Out to liven things up. Where do you keep the beer?
Hey Phyllis! My mom and I stayed at your place Tuesday night. It was very nice. We loved all the original artwork! Our goals for the trip were centered around the upcoming wedding. We each bought dress possibilities (yay!), some other garments, and we also went to the fabric depot and Ikea. I am going to make a really cute apron for one of my friends. Thanks for letting us sleepover. Enjoy the rest of your time in WI. I've enjoyed your assignments thus far!
