Dude, 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 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.
