Carr house is amazing, period. I've discovered this house is the only one that's been renovated so far, and everything is spanking new. We had the first get-together of the semester last night and invited ALL the other students in the program, who kept remarking on how great our house is. :-P It was so fun getting to know each other better and in a more relaxed environment because we've only really been seeing each other through classes. Although, I did host a game night at someone else's house the other day, which went well too.
It's pretty funny though, how we have no blinds on the first floor. While we're eating dinner, we can look out and see the next house over, and see exactly what our fellow students are doing in their kitchen. Last night, I made a silly face at them through the window when they finally noticed we could see them, and they just looked at me in complete bafflement, but I thought it was funny, hehe. Hopefully we'll get blinds soon...we've put in a request for them. It's kind of weird not having them...everyone can see INTO our house when the lights are on, and it's harder to see out! Weird.
Also, I notice some ship lingo is starting to slip into my vocabulary. I just realized as I was writing before about Carr, I was about to refer to it as "she," just as if the house were a ship. Ha. Oh, and making knots is CRAZY. Jessica, (my housemate, for those of who don't remember), and I practiced over and over. Eventually, we ended up making knots around our garlic and oregano shakers. And then we lassoed each other. Now we know why knots are useful.
Good times.

This all sounds so wonderful! Your house and housemates sound great. I definitely would have appreciated making faces through the windows, especially how awkward it is that you don't have blinds!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that those knots prove useful in other arenas, too! hehe
