Hello there!

I'm starting this off as a completely random post, with no general topic to discuss. We'll see how this goes. 

It's Sunday morning, at around 10:40. The only sounds I hear right now is the song "with or without you" playing on my laptop, my external hard drive backing up my computer, and the occasional passing of cars. 

As usual, I woke up at 9 this morning. I went to sleep at around 2:30 last night, although I cannot remember the actual time. It took me a little longer to wake up today, but I was still satisfied with my sleep. I've actually been sleeping amazingly well here (knock on wood), and the bed is actually really comfortable. Yesterday, I turned my desk 90 degrees to face my bed. Let me try to explain my reasoning. But first, here are before and after pictures:

Before. Sorry, it's the best one I have

 Then, I slid my desk left, so the left edge of my desk met the right edge of my bed. Mainly because I would have been back-to-back with my roommate, and we would have collided.

Then, the rotation:

There you go

Okay, so, why did I do it? Well here's the thing: I love knowing what's going on, and I want to be able to see as much as I can, but when I was facing the window, I had my back to the door, which is almost always open when I'm in the room until I go to bed. With the rotation, it allows me to look out the window, and see what is going on out front, while also monitoring traffic in the hallway. (Not that there's a killer amount of traffic or anything, there are only 13 of us on the floor, counting me).

My main concern with the rotation was that I would potentially knock things off my desk while I slept, but I gave it a test run last night, and everything seems to be working fine. I think I'm pretty happy with the setup. 

I'm still doing my best to get organized; moving things around, and rearranging drawers for easier access. Weirdly enough, I've never had actual desk drawers, and I realize how important it makes me feel to open a drawer and remove an item :)

The weekend is surprisingly quiet here. Many sleep in, and either disappear for the day, or just stay inside. Although in the evening, it gets a bit louder, it is still relaxing here. According to my calendar, today is father's day in Australia. 

Okay, this post has gotten pretty long, so I'm going to take a break!
