Dorm Life

Decorating my (okay, our) dorm has been a major feat we are slowly but surely accomplishing.  It almost seems more like a mini apartment (minus kitchen and bathroom) than a college dorm.  It is usually kept decently clean, except for my sea of shoes that seem to pile up at times.  I've worked at trying to collect things to hang on the wall and niceties to adorn our small space with.  I think the next thing we need are some makeshift curtains, that would make things more adorable.

I adore interior decorating.  It would be a lovely job to have, though I don't think its in my cards at the moment.  Although, I've thought about just freelancing my different skills everywhere.  I want to do many things: hand-make cards and invitations, bake/cook, make jewelry, design clothing, create websites, and make magazines.  Interior decorating can get in on the party too.  Oh, that always sounded fun...party planning.  

I would soon love to cook something in our minuscule kitchen located upstairs on the boy's floor.  Maybe a dessert would be a good place to start.  I would love to find something to bake off the smitten kitchen blog.  I want to start to teach myself how to bake a cake that didn't come out of a box.  Then, onto real meals.  Things might be made more difficult since I don't have a car to go fetch ingredients.  I'm a bit nervous about what equipment they might provide down at the rental desk for cooking utensils.  But as soon as I cook something lovely in my new kitchen, I'll post the adventure here.
