-There are two windows, one that is opaque and warped like a bathroom window so it lets light in but you can't see much, the other is above the head of my bed. 
-My desk is made of glass.... like all the other furniture in this house. It's annoying (no really I have a glass table, a glass coffee table, a class bookshelf... and a glass desk...) Who thought that was a good idea? (I can't complain though.. fully furnished apartment, so yeah...)
-no ac (yes.. i live in the Caribbean... yes it is hot as Hades in here most of the time)

- I basically live at my desk or on my bed in my room. I NEVER use the couch or chairs in the living room. 
- My bed is perpetually covered in dog toys. Ender keeps a collection up there. It's fine unless he brings one of the nylabone dinosaur toys up.. if you roll over on one of those in the middle of the night it hurts (those things are worse than legos when you step on them too)
