My Office - another detail

Here's another detail from my office: a little piece of tsotschke I picked up at the local thrift store. It looks much better in this photo than it does in real life, oddly enough.

My Office - one detail

As a follow-up, here's a photo of a detail from inside my office. Come visit and you can meet the sheep in person.

My Office

The architectural magnificence of our campus is often overlooked because people are simply trying to figure out where they are. It's a bit like being in an airport - trust the signs, believe the signs, follow the signs, and you'll get there. There are only three main buildings on this campus and they're connected both underground and via a skywalk on the same level. My office is on this magical level. From my office's perspective it is the lower level of Founders Hall. This first photo is of just such a sign to be believed. It says "History Department" but only two of our offices are down here. Also, note that the hint of sunshine at the end of the hallway is the closest my office comes to an outdoor view--and from within my office there is no hope of seeing this hint. I'm not complaining because I like my office, but I just don't think I'll ever have plants in my office.

Medieval Jedis

A very brief post for a very brief comment from class.

In class some students wondered whether the Dominicans, formed in time to root out Cathar heresy, or the Knights Templar would be the better analogue to the Jedis in Star Wars. (I have yet to find anyone on the internet who makes an argument for the Dominicans.)
