My Room

My room is different from what it might be if I didn't share it. If I had my own room, it would constantly be messy, the walls covered with photos, drawings, charts, galore. Fortunately, I share a room with my tidiest sister, Avonlea. As a result, we have the biggest and (usually) cleanest bedroom in the house--barring my parents'. When our basement was being finished, it was our choice whether to make our bedroom one or two rooms. Since we chose to make it one room, it is very large with two closets and two windows. We each have our side of the room with our respective beds, windows, and closets. My closet is my messy place: A place that I make my own since Avonlea doesn't have to live with it.

The best part of our room is the bookshelves. The first thing we set up in our room was a bookshelf, calling dibs on all of our favorite books to put on it; and this past weekend we received an addition: A second bookshelf! We're still trying to fill it up, but it won't take long before it's just as packed as the one shelf was before. I think that the books change the way our room feels. The books make our room feel more like home.

  2. Haha! That's how I feel! My sisters (even though they're younger than me) are so tidy, and I'm so messy! I really loved the comparison (just like Cassia said), and I felt like I could feel the room instead of just seeing the room. Does that make sense? Keep up the good work! ;)

  3. Love this description. It tells me so much about you and Avonlea--not just the tidy/messy part, but the part about the books, too. Okay, maybe that part tells me about the whole family, since home isn't home without stacks of books all over. :)
