Updates to my room

Updated photos of my room!

After four weeks of feeling like I was "floating" in the middle of my room, and not able to get a good night's sleep, I finally decided to push my bed back toward the window, dormitory/prison style. I originally moved it away from the wall because I thought it'd look more "grown up" and more like a hotel room. But I believe in the rules of feng shui (loosely) and there's just no good way to arrange this room. First, there's no way I can possibly see the front door when lying down, unless I had my feet pointed toward the door which is also bad. And there's also no way to avoid having my bed caught "in the gust" between the door and the window. The window is just too darn big. Finally, I decided that for most of my life, I have slept with the wall to my right anyway, I might as well push the bed toward the wall. This way I feel anchored to something, and not like I'm falling off the edges of a twin XL bed. This also reduced the light from the crack between the blinds and the edge of the window from shining directly in my eye.

I have been sleeping slightly better ever since. Note I said slightly. Still not perfect. Still need either black out curtains or a better sleeping mask (the room is just too bright! Night and day!). Slowly but surely...slowly but surely.

Also here is the run down on how much I have spent on bedding in the hopes of making my sleeping arrangements better (yes, I am the princess and the pea!)

• $50 duvet + sham from Amazon

But who's keeping tabs?

Also here's a pic of my mini-fridge, with both doors open. It's like playing Tetris to make my food fit:
