Doormrooms

From the moment you enter, a little whiff from your nose reveals new and old. The entry was is almost always clear of clutter; the walls still starch white and the floor an ugly pebbled pattern, also making the room seem dull. Your eye is drawn to the closet full of clothing with two hampers under them, and a dresser full of more clothes. On the top shelf sits all of the cleaning products, storage tubs, and extra beverages neatly piled together. Continuing on through the short entrance way, you will immediately see into a 12″x12″ room with a colorful carpet of reds, blues, browns, greens and blacks all arranged in scattered squares.

Immediately to your left, a velvety, orange butterfly chair sits with two extra soft pillows resting in the seat. Beyond that, along the far left wall, sits my roommate’s and my beds; bunked to save on space. To follow, sits my cluttered desk full of books and papers and other odds and ends. The perpendicular wall only contains our heater at the bottom with our crates containing files and school books and our printer on the floor. The only object on the wall is the window with our NMU and Superior Edge stickers looking out at the parking lot.

My roommates desk sits diagonally form the right edge of the window to about two and  a half feet against the right side wall. Next to her desk is the three tiered shelf piled high with food and clean dishes. Sitting on top is our coffee maker and grounds. How I love that taste of coffee. Following alongside the fridge and microwave that can barely fit on the top of it, is the entertainment center. The television is about a seventeen inch screen and sits on top of a small TV stand: it holds the VCR and DVD players, some movies, and a Super Nintendo. This leads you back to the entrance way where you are looking at the back of the door and now you leave behind you as you leave the room, the whiff of new and old.
