Dorm

While I was moving in Washington, DC, I was feeling that I will change myself because I will stay here at Washington, DC for four years. While I was moving in my dorm room, I feel that I am in jail because I am not getting used to have a small room like that I have my own room at home. After completed moving in my dorm, I feel weird because I am not getting used to live in Washington, DC. I was living in Massachusetts in my whole life. While I am looking around in my dorm room, I noticed that my wall is plain-colored white. It make me feeling down because white is common color that I see it everywhere and it is not exciting color for me. So, I added some posters on my wall to make my dorm looking better than plain-colored white. Also, I saw a bed, a drawer, a nightstand in my room. I have my own closet, which is smaller than my closet in my home in Massachusetts. I did not like my window because they are too big, I prefer medium windows. My rug is dirty and plain-colored. That is what my room look like.
I can tell who previously live my dorm last semester by noticing some doodle on my desk. It wrote by someone with class of year 2011. Also, I can see some stain in my room and it from last semester. I met those people who live in my room before and they explained what happen to that room.
I make this room “belong” to me by bringing my stuff to here in Washington, DC. I bring my own television, clothes, posters, laptop, microwave, miniature refrigerator, and personal things. These things make me thinking that this room is belonging to me.
It “becomes” my place by stay living here in Washington, DC. I will stay here for four years. I already feel that I am living here for my whole life but not true because I already living here for a half year.
It is a place where I make it a place for others. While I complete my first year at here Gallaudet University, I will move out to different dorm. Every year, I will move to different dorm and I rather to stay in one room for a year, not two years. Dorm is my place.



Campus

While I am entering this university, I see many different buildings. They have five different buildings and they are dorm. Their name is One Hall, Two Hall, Three Hall, Four Hall, and Five Hall. One Hall looks like oldest dorm than other dorms. One Hall has a lot of history inside its dorm. Two Hall is the largest building in the campus. Three Hall is for graduate students only. Four Hall and Five Hall recently opened in few years ago. They all looks like red bricks and many windows on them. This university campus has seven different restaurants. Most of those restaurants are grill-style. They have around ten parking lots. Six of those parking lots are for staff and faculty only and rest of it are for students only. They have a building and it looks creepy because they have oldest door on the front. It is a health center for students and staff only. Health Center Building looks like creepy and white painting on their building and black frame on their windows. A sign on the front entrance and it said, “Health Center Building”. This university has many different department building, and they are Biology, Mathematics, Education, History, Psychology, and Laboratories. Biology department building looks like a small, strange building. Mathematics department building looks like an average building. Education department building is the oldest building in the campus. History department building and Psychology department building looks like same building but they have different design on their outside. They have a building and it is a laboratories. That laboratories building have limited people inside the building. They are around three-fifty hundred feet apart away from each building. They have their own gym. They have baseball field, softball field, soccer field, football field, basketball court, and racquetball room. They look like new and recently opened. Football field is inside the dome and ground is making from recycled tire. They also have a building for department of public safety. Department of Public Safety building looks like a jail house. They have their own parking lot for securities only. This university has a building and it is more likely a museum. This museum restores many things that related to this university’s history. They have their own hotel and they are for students’ families who are visiting their children. The final piece of this campus have a statue, it looks like a legendary statue.
