Lucy's Side Quest #3: Move In and a Boston Summer Begins

Yesterday, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and started my move in process to my Boston summer housing, which entailed:

my dear mother driving me to DFW airport,

taking a flight to Detroit,

taking another flight to Boston,

lyfting to Mass Ave,

moving all my 5 boxes and two suitcases up five flights of stairs with Hanu,

and then being devastated to see that the my room was first of all dusty crusty and musty and second of all fugly.

A thick dark layer of dust, like soot, covered the windowsill, and hair and dust blowed up as I walked around the wooden floor that had a thin layer of grime (think tire skid marks). The old mattress had a yellowing paper-texture cover sheet that was torn like someone punched it multiple times in the middle. A fake, dirty, fire place served as decor, as if the lemon yellow and grapefruit orange walls could be made elegant.

So before I could take out a single item, Hanu and I swiffered up the floors and lysoled every surface/crevice. Bless her soul. How did the previous owner live in a dust bowl, I don't know. It was 9 p.m. by the time I felt like I could unpack a suitcase.

But alas, 36 hours later, it's now clean enough to do a room tour, so I welcome you to the Citrus Room!

POV: You walk in the Citrus Room

This is the view when you walk in. The piano, the monitor, and money tree are summer guests that you're taking care of for your friends. On the right of you are some mirrors you can watch yourself slay outfits or dance your little dance.

On the wall with the door, is a huge built-in shelf, for your makeup, books, textbooks, some food, shoes, anything really. There's also a built in closet to hang up clothes and put your box full of winter clothes and @notesoncrocs 's old soundproof foam. You and Renee are the same kind of ambitious delusional. Also spot @tumblasha 's beautiful letter on the dresser.

The bed is a single, on risers. Your Italian flag, gifted by GTL students, and the donk posters, and the favorite photograph you took of a Korean beach are on this wall.

The view outside your window is pretty nice. Mass Ave. Just how you like it. Yeah it gets loud at night, but it reminds you of when you used to live in Taipei as a child. That's all the thoughts you have on this room so far.

End POV

ANyways, my first day of UROPing went fine. Hayden is nice and quiet. But because I have no groceries yet, I went out and got a flour breakfast sandwich and coffee and was extremely baffaffelled. $17 for a McMuffin and drip coffee? I went hungry for lunch, but was full of pride. So more cooking is coming your way!!

Hope to soon see what the rest of y'all are up to. I miss y'all a lot, this campus is not the same without all of y'all!!
