divine angst

I spent the last couple of hours working on my paper for Legal Writing. I’ve been told, by more than one 2L, to monitor the time I spend on Legal Writing assignments—since it’s only two credits. I probably wouldn’t have spent so much time today except that I finished my reading. I also want to talk to my prof about it tomorrow, and it’s due Wednesday morning. So, I took the time.

But this wasn’t going to be a post about my paper, per se. Rather, it’s a post about how much I enjoy the workspace we have set up.

Basically, it goes something like this:

The TV is on one wall and the desk is opposite. (It’s a wide room.) The couch is in between, facing the TV, along with a coffee table, squashy chair, and short bookshelf. But the desk faces AWAY from the TV. Sure, it’s all in the same room and I can hear the TV if it’s on. It’s not in my face, though. The desk is comfy, too—spacious and relatively bare, leaving room to spread out. We also set up the cable for me to connect to the big monitor (though the available resolutions are less than desireable and leave the screen looking a bit flattened out).

Now that everything is coming together nicely in our apartment, I can see how easy it will be for me to work here. That’s not to say I want to work here all the time. I’m still convinced I’ll be more productive at the library or somewhere on campus. But when I need to, I know I can work here, and do so very comfortably.
