New Blood

We have a new flat mate!  I use "new" loosely, because he was here last semester- so really, we are "new" and he's well... not.  Anyway, I woke up from a nap and heard someone unlocking a door.  The first week I would jump up to see if it was anyone new, but it would always be a current flat mate.  Soon I was able to distinguish at what part of the hall noise was coming from and soon after that- I just stopped looking.  

Today was a different day- I woke up from my nap, and the sound seemed to be more centrally located- I was curious again.  So I whipped open my door and stood, staring at room 2.  Room 2 no longer had a pile of papers under the door.  Room 2 was suddenly occupied.  I wanted to take a picture, I should have.  You know, when something is the same for so long- then suddenly different, the differences is picture-worthy. 

So.. I knocked and said hello.  We chatted for a bit- I showed him his new, and probably smaller, space in the kitchen.  Mystery flat mate is from Spain- he studies design.  He seems pretty cool.  I've heard from the grapevine that our flat was pretty hoppin' last semester.  We're gonna have new dynamics in the flat. =)
