School’s out! And I’m going to live in California for the summer!

I cannot believe how much the on campus wireless network at Michigan can suck sometimes. Not only does it not extend onto the Diag at all, but it doesn’t even work properly in various parts of the library. Yesterday I was sitting right next to the Fishbowl and I was getting time out errors every 15 minutes!

I spend at least an hour or two in the Ugli almost every day. I realized I have gotten completely used to people openly eating and talking within the library – not just in the lobby and cafe, but right next to the stacks.

I wonder if it was always like this in the the Ugli, or if it is as recent development. Although I didn’t spend very much time in them, I always got the impression that the the Rock and Gelman were super quiet food-free spaces.

Interestingly, the one thing I don’t see a lot is people napping, which I both observed and partook in both the Rock and the SciLi. I am 98% sure it is because there are few if any couches here. It’s all blocky wooden chairs and tables.

I bought Windows 7 from ITCS a few weeks ago because it was only $18, and I needed to be able to run Office in order to format our 622 reports nicely.

I kind of like it a lot so far.
