Living Area

Living Area
The living arrangements are similar to that of a military ship. There are two cots in a small room with a small bathroom. Small meaning you can walk in a straight line in the room and step into the bathroom. The beds are like a yellow foam mattress, and an old comforter has threaded cotton breaking on the bottom then you have a plane sheet. You have one small pillow. Under the cots is an area to put your stuff, you also have a locker. Laundry is done everyday. There is a constant smell of TIDE detergent and Fabric Softener. The smell is so strong that you can actually taste the chemicals.

Extra Curricular Activities
There is a ping pong table and a TV on EPSN non stop. There is a phone booth that usually has a line, but If i get up a little early like 9pm there usually is not a line. There also is an exercise room, initially I wanted to start working out there but I'm so exhausted that I haven't been able to yet.

Mess Hall/ Cafeteria 
The cafeteria serves food that maybe a low income elementary school serves there kids. Everything was canned, or previously frozen and most of it fried. How people eat canned spinach I will never under stand. It makes me think that this what the food would be like  if an apocalyptic event like zombies attacking or nuclear winter happened. I think about going home and making a fresh salad, slicing an avocado, topping it with balsamic and olive oil, serving it with a fresh piece of bread.
