The illustrious grad closet
It's where I usually am when I'm posting things on facebook instead of being productive. We all get keys to the GIS lab (one of the classrooms we're sandwiched between) so we can let ourselves in whenever we want (like earlier today, when I went in to make powerpoints because I'm too cheap to spring for a copy of office for my own computer).
I've started pimping it out since it will basically be my home for the next 2+ years. Last week my friend Russ helped me smuggle in a minifridge, and I brought up a spare monitor I had so I could have two on my computer. Unfortunately the stand it came with was too tall to fit under the cabinets (side note: the ergonomics of the room are terrible: tables too high, cabinets too low) but luckily those Dells come right off their stands:
Just lean it against the wall -Perfect!
For some reason, they didn't really finish out a large area of the third floor of our building, so we have this big porch thing between us and the back stairs. There's been talk of a 'graduate student hot tub' - if we had a way to get it up here, I'd start scoping craigslist.
Future site of grad student hot tub. Seriously, architects, WTF.
There used to be a decent view of Bishop's peak from up there but then they went and built some engineering building in the way, now the best thing we've got is this view of the library/busy (pedestrian-wise) intersection.
Anyway, that's where I spend all my time. One more week (and a few days) and then I get a break for (almost) two!
