I Need A Couch

I'm pretty much all unpacked and organized now, just in time for the start of orientation. A couch still proves elusive, however.

This is my living room to the right:



Lots of familiar elements, but the coffee table and desk are both new additions from Ikea, which means they were really cheap. I especially like the desk, which has a pull-out section on the right for my laptop, dinner, books, whatever.

And here's the left side:



All familiar stuff. You can see how much open floor space I have right now, which is just begging for a couch.

My kitchen, which is now pretty much fully furnished after a couple of purchases:



I haven't started cooking yet, but I'll try this week after I go shopping. For now, it's toasted waffles, soup, and frozen food. Other than the occasional Jamba Juice, I'm avoiding going out to eat as much as possible.

Here's my bedroom, which has more space than I know what to do with, other than providing a place to put my bike:





I have a balcony, which has as nice a view as there is in the complex, overlooking the pool:



So, this is home for the next 11 months. I'm out in the freakin' boonies, but I'd love visitors! I promise there will be a couch to welcome you.
