Today I learned a lesson as I rose early to shower and get ready before having to leave for orientation at the CEA Global Campus while the rest of my roommates slept. This will be the pattern for the rest of the time here since I am taking an early-morning French class at the Sorbonne and they are not.
I tried to be as quiet as possible but all the loud drawers and back and forth running from the tiny bathroom to my room for more products ended up making a lot of noise. Another surprise was that the shower room, while seemingly spacious, actually is not-so-spacious once the door's closed. It quickly became apparent that I would be unable to put a pair of underwear or pants on in that room without running into something.
I'm not sure how I'll manage to get through a whole month's worth of showers in this tiny room, but I decided to instigate a new policy with my roommates. Since the bathroom is in the kitchen and the kitchen has a door with textured translucent glass, we have decided that if someone is taking the shower they will be given the option of closing the kitchen so that they can have a little more room and be more comfortable. See Cole solve problems - and before 9AM, too!
