Cramped Quarters

Karen is living in residence at university. She shares her room with one other person, Tanis. They live on the 7th floor. On their door, there is a small whiteboard. At the bottom it says, "Karen and Tanis live here. Leave a message!". Karen's bed is against the north wall. She uses the space under her bed for storage. Tanis' bed is against the opposite wall. Between the two beds there is a space about 6 feet wide. Karen's desk is next to her bed. On her desk she has a computer. There is a reading lamp beside the computer. She has another light above her bed that she can use when she is reading in bed. On the floor beside the desk, there is a kettle. To the right of the desk, stands a book case which they share. They also share a small fridge which is in the corner. There is one window in the west wall whch looks out on the grounds. The bathroom is down the hall. There are laundry facilites on the second floor. They have their meals in the dining hall; they have to stand in line, but the food is reasonable. At the front of the building, there is an Intercom so their friends can buzz them. Karen and Tanis get along quite well. The only thing Karen doesn't like is that Tanis leaves the light on when she studies at night. That makes it hard for Karen to sleep.
