Some evenings I stay in my office later than usual to get some extra work done. Things are so still and quiet at night, it is an ideal time to do some work, undisturbed by noises outside or people wandering around the building, &c. The picture shows you what my desk looks like this evening. A security guard just poked his head in the door to see if there was anybody in the room before he locked the doors of the building, but that is the last disturbance I will have until I decide to leave for home. I am using the few minutes it is taking the computer to crunch some numbers for me to write this post, so it will be a relatively short one.
I am sharing this room with one other student, another Msc. student (in Applied Mathematics). I am quite happy with the way my workspace has worked out. There should have been a third student but he appears to have little interesting in using his desk, so the two of us that remain have plenty of room and a spare desk to use as shared space. There are about seven postgraduate students in the room next door, complaining of overcrowding and lack of facilities. It was purely the luck of the draw that gave me this name. It just so happens that ‘H’ comes relatively early in the alphabet. Lucky me.
My computer has finished crunching, back to work…
cool!
