it seems we're drowning in a drop of water...

As I was sitting in class today in Pound Hall (HLS's main building), I couldn't help but notice the downright bomb-shelter-like architecture of the lecture room. The ceiling was made of bare concrete slabs that made me a little uneasy. It was uglier than the authentic-60s decor of the University of Chicago lecture rooms, if you can believe that. And to top it all off, the room was not air-conditioned. Or if it was, the air wasn't getting past the thick cloud of asbestos above us. Plus, there weren't enough chairs for all in attendance. What struck me as wildly comical, however, was the fact that my computer was telling me that it had picked up a wireless connection in that cavernous hole of a room!

To be fair, I did have a class later on in the newly-built Hauser Hall, where the rooms are modern and resemble those at Stanford. However, I must say that the chairs at Stanford are infinitely better. I couldn't even adjust my chair in Hauser, so I had to keep flipping my laptop's screen (which is huge) up and down just to see the professor. Ha. Alas.

Back to the books...
