There are a hundred places where I fear / To go...
This week, we finished the move into the LAS building. Our tutoring space and computer cluster are far from finished, but my cubicle now exists!
There are more pictures of the new ARC (and for that matter the old ARC) here.
I like my new workspace, and I think the LAS building is prettier than Cornell's. So it's been a bit of surprise, and a testament to my own capacity for nostalgia, that I managed to feel a pang of sentimentality about leaving Cornell.
I had some really wonderful times in the Cornell building. Every time I walked down the hallways I was reminded of those happy memories, as I passed the couches where I argued religion with Leland, or the lockers where Jess first ran up to me and said "We should talk about process theology!", or the office where Doug helped me prove Pierce's Law, or the Student Affairs office where I hung out with Ryan and Caryl, or the TA cave where Paul used to greet me with a cheerful "Marjorie!", or even the stain on my office's rug where Andrew spilled his drink in a typically hilarious fashion. I am continually grateful for all of the friendships I've gained here in Qatar and all of the wonderful people I've had the good fortune to meet. Now I'm ready to people the halls of LAS with similarly warm memories!
