Carrel!
Dude, [info]schizmatic and I just got a carrel in Robarts, and it is sweet. This makes me a feel a little more like a real graduate student... a little more. Unfortunately, however, this carrel appears to be in one of the very few parts of Robarts not enabled for wi-fi. Then again, as [info]schizmatic said, this may be a blessing in disguise....

On the upside, the carrel is on the 12th floor, with easy access to most of my academic materials; and, better still, it has a (clean, if somewhat arrow-slit-ish in aesthetic) window, with a commanding view of the campus and what can perhaps be called 'eastern exposure'.

Anyhow, I'm disproportionately happy.

Yep, it's awesome. Mind you, it's also about 5'x6', including the desk space, two chairs, and a shelf unit... and, because of the inscrutible architectural design of the library, its shape is somewhere between a rhombus and an isoceles triangle. Nevertheless, it is ours, and we rejoice!

Two chairs! How is there room for anything else in there? One chair was cluttered enough in the one I had. (Not that I ever used it for anything other than storing my stuff while using the library, but that was because I couldn't stand looking at the mold in mine...)

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your new teeny bit of real estate!
