A View of my Room

so i'm going to say, today was one of the hottest days of my life. I've never been without A/C through the hot parts of August... i've been without it in college for 4 years, but never in the hottest parts of august, with the sticky, wake up sweating, humid, disgusting hot. I woke up this morning angry, partly because i'm sick of my dumb air mattress, but mostly due to the heat. yes, i AM in a complaining mood haha. but anyway, karla and i finallly got most of our stuff put away, organized, and our pictures are officially hung and set. So, to celebrate that glorious occassion, i figured it was time to show the apartment to the world (or, the possible 3 or 4 people who may read this.) as you can see in picture one and two, there are two flags. you really should know the first one, but the bottom one, for those of you "not in the know" is from the tiny little country known as El Salvador. clearly, the U.S. flag was hung higher up :)
Anyone who has known me in college, knows that i loveeee string lights as the main lighting in a room. Yes, i call them string lights because they should never be relegated only to the winter holiday months, they should be used all year. really. name another piece of decoration that is more versatile and more calming..... exactly, you cannot.

This is my kitchen, it's cute. not a lot of counter space, but i'll tell you, i am creating magic in the kitchen with some dishes, karla's not too bad herself... it's like she LOVES washing dishes!

Why do people paint their walls yellow? it's known as "gender neutral," but what does that really mean? are there any guys that really enjoy yellow? on the other side, any girls? does gender neutral just mean both sexes hate it equally? i go for that explanation.

Last but not least, a little porch, cute porch, and until this very morning, a very dirty porch. i swear, i don't pay her to clean, it's just in her blood (...too much?)
