Speaking of Hemmingway...
One would expect an Engineering and Physics building to be well engineered. It seems logical, intuitive. Perhaps the electricians just forgot to come to work on this one. I walked into the first floor bathroom in EP today and noticed that yes, it was clean, and that is a very good thing and not to be taken lightly. But according to Hemmingway (here's where he comes in), a place, be it bar or bathroom, is only pleasant if it is "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place." I didn't like the story; it was about drunk people about whom any reader cares not a whit. But one thing I demand in concordance with the author: light. The switch was flipped on in the bathroom but darkness hung heavy in every corner.

Ahh, this causes me difficulty as nearly every place here is dirty (at least all places public) and there are very few places well-lit, even when we have power. Hmm. How on earth do I manage to be happy?
