That would be the one line I know from the Uni Hall song. Uni, short for University Hall, is my home for the next three months. It was build back in the 1800's (I think) as an all-female hall. Now it's co-ed and has expanded to include three separate halls: Lumsden, Wardlaw, and Old Wing. I'm in Old Wing, which in my opinion is the coolest because it's got the most character. It also has some quirks, like oddly shaped rooms, hidden closets, and supposedly a ghost. It also looks the prettiest from the outside, with the stone walls.
So, let me explain a bit about each of the pictures.
1. This, of course, is Uni Hall. More specifically, it's Old Wing. My room is on the backside, so you can't see it, but I can see the weather vane from my window.
2. This is my lovely room. Pretty standard dorm room, with a desk, dresser, and closet. It doesn't have much in the way of personal touches, but it's nice enough. Also, now that the radiator is working, it's quite warm.
3. Here's my bed. I was desperately trying to find a way to get my whole room in one picture, so I'm actually behind my desk standing on the radiator taking this, but all you can see is the bed. I did go out and buy the duvet and duvet cover, because the one they provided was not very warm (and hideous!).
4. Is it a cabinet, a set of drawers...?
5. No, its a sink-in-a-box! Perfect for brushing your teeth, washing your dishes, and surprising your friends. The guys who helped me move my bags in the first day discovered this, and I stupidly asked if all sinks in Scotland are in boxes. It turns out that no, just mine and a few other in Old Wing are housed in boxes. The rest are pretty standard.
And that's my home.
