Day 136 - Moving again
Apparently I can't stay in Windsor Hall past 10 AM on Saturday, I'll have to move again, this time to Childs Hall for 3 days. It shouldn't make a difference because I'll be packing anyway. Before I move out, I thought I'd make a list of things I'll never forget about Windsor Hall:The people - I really like a lot of of the people here. It's the main reason why I'm so glad to be in this hall, despite the things I don't like about it.
The view - I can see from half of the campus all the way to the town centre, and even as far west as Tilehurst. It's one of the best views in Reading. And it's also great for pointing my temperature gun at various surfaces around the area.1
The pizza and donuts - Most of the food isn't that great, but it's not so bad either. The pizza and donuts are VERY good, and I will miss those.
The stairs - I live on the 6th floor and have to go up and down 6 flights of stairs many times each day.
The volume - They say that each floor in Windsor gets louder as you go up. That seems to be very true. The 6th floor is usually its loudest around 2-3AM.
Sharing - It's been many years since I've had to share a bathroom or kitchen with anyone. Now I share with about 12 people. It definitely helps me appreciate what I have back in Oklahoma.
The walk - Windsor is one of the farthest halls from the Meteorology building. I can't count how many times I've walked back and forth between the two buildings. Several times a day.
The heater - The heater in my room has a mind of its own.

The Way Marcian Sees It:
The people: of course they're cool. They're studying in Britain!
The View: better start charging admission, like the London Eye, only smaller. You took your temp gun with you???
The pizza and donuts: but we have those here, Matt...
The stairs: A good idea if one indulges in pizza and donuts.
The volume: if anything, this is a perfect time to create a formula showing the level of dedication as inversely proportional to the distance from the front/bottom. Don't all the slackers sit in the back of the class? I sense another dissertation topic here...
Sharing: so you appreciate not sharing???
The walk: again, probably a good idea after the pizza and donuts.
The heater: AI really isn't such a new thing. *grin*
