so i’m sitting in my little room across from the men’s bathroom and the happiest papa smurf person just walked down the hallway, singing "i don’t know, i don’t know, la, la, la" into the bathroom, singing loudly in the bathroom, then walked out, singing his "i don’t know song" all the way back down the hall. when i first started my phd, i had this really cushy "penthouse" room on the fifth floor with a window, overlooking farm lane…but in my 2 years now across from the bathroom, with all of the things i see and hear, i can tell you it’s surely a lot more entertaining!
