It's been a while since I've memed, but given that birdgirl78 tagged me:
1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag eight of your friends to do the same.
(I prefer not to tag people, so if this meme appeals, just go ahead and join in.)
Today I am really happy to have an office. For real! And it's in the main building, the one where I teach!
I still don't quite know what to do with my office: I'm waiting on my research budget to buy all books to fill up the shelves, and on my first paycheck to do any decorating, so right now it resembles a grim metal coffin. But it's *my* grim metal coffin.
This week I figured out that I can leave my high-heeled shoes in my office, so that I only have to change into them for teaching. This makes me (and my feet) inexpressibly happy!
And tonight, in a fit of indulgence, I bought an extra kettle and mug, so I can treat people to tea in my office. Again, this makes me happy!
In other news, my classes all seem to be going well. I have my first batch of grading to do this weekend. Wish my students luck!
