In the top right corner of the bed, you may be able to barely make out the flannel lamby sheets I brought with me to put on the bed.  I tried to make sure whenever I got up for the morning that the lamby sheets were covered by the sleeping bag.  I felt like a dork for having them in a room full of 20 or so guys, and I unfortunately had the bed you see whenever you first walk in the room.  But hey, flannel lamby sheets are so darned comfy.
