I'm at the museum of natural history right now, covering their 'circulation desk' while the student worker takes her lunch break. I use the term circulation desk very loosely, as the museums library is really just two rooms with bare pipes running overhead and large metal shelves with unorganized stacks of paper and books.
This is probably the coolest building on campus. It's like stepping back in time, especially in the areas that aren't open to the public. The doors are all the original ones that came with the building, you can tell from the brass handles and thick, dark wood they are made of.
With all of the renovations that have taken place on campus, this building seems to have been miraculously sidestepped. I think it's great. Biomedical sciences can have their trillion dollar buildings. The people who hang out in these buildings have a penchant for mustiness anyway, I think.
The weather outside is blowing my mind. There is a hot wind blowing that should not be happening in April. But flowers are blooming, and lawns are green. I'm looking out at a beautiful dogwood tree that is dripping with its pink-white flowers. Just lovely.
I just got a phone call from my best friend in the world, and it wasn't good. And suddenly I'm not in the blogging mood.
Off to finish my workday.
