The joys of an office
April 19th 2007 02:48
The only thing better than having a boyfriend at uni, is having a boyfriend with his own office at uni.
Not many third year science students can shut themselves away from the irritating teeny-bopper firsties, blast their music up as loud as they can, and have guarrenteed internet access no matter what. There is even a microwave in the tearoom downstairs and a toilet across the corridor.
Then there is the advantage of the storage space. No longer do i need to carry heavy backpacks full of closed in shoes, textbooks, laptops, lunch, a jacket etc. Nope. I just duck into my office with my handback, change over my books, slip on my shoes and out I go to my next lecture. Convienient, no? My fellow classmates even know where to find me, I can tell them that between the hours of 10 and 4 I'll be in the office or at my lectures.
Ofcourse, technically it isnt my office, it is his. And he shares it some of the time with other students. It's occupants have changed from a group of 5 physic/math nerds, cramming to get their final thesis in on time. They ate, slept and showered at uni. The room was set up with my sleeping bag, camping mat, pillows, food etc to make those final weeks of hard-core writing a little more comfortable. During this time, music was kept to headphones, only work or silent computer games were allowed and speaking was only allowed if it was related to matrixes, matlab or other computer models.
This year, apart from my boy, the office is also used by a girl who is never around, thus I have run of the office.
So my advice to other uni students- find a space and make it yours, befriend post-grad students with offices, its more convienient than a library desk, locker and room on campus could over be.

An office gives the sense of being superior, important and sought after. image taken from www.cartoonstock.com
