If anyone actually reads this blog regularly you may have noticed I have been absent for some time. As my twitter would hint at, I spent last week (June 24 - July 1) in Disney World! But I've been back this whole week, which anyone else who works can tell you was a very odd week what with Independence Day vacation right in the middle. Most people avoided suffering through two Mondays by taking the whole week off, which made for a very quiet return to work for me. Even so, I've been busy with catching up on my regular goings on from last week and also getting ready for the interns, who START ON MONDAY, yippie! While most of that prep work is not interesting enough to warrant mentioning here (besides getting to walk all around campus collecting fresh images for the intern scavenger hunt, and "performing a dry run" for the upcoming weekly BBQs, booyah my job is awesome!!!), there is one time consuming albeit incredibly satisfying manual labor project that has given my week a very exciting conclusion:

| CLEANING UP THE READING ROOM!!!!!!!! |
I have been saying for years now that I was going to redesign the Reading Room, and with a little help and elbow grease we have finally made some significant progress. Anyone who has seen the room anytime in the past forever would recognize that the somewhat-lousy-yet-surprisingly-sohpisticated panoramic image above from my phone looks TOTALLY different. At this point we've really only cleaned out clutter and rearranged some furniture - it's like those tv shows where they stage houses to help get them sold. So we're still not done, but the progress we've made is totally impressive and you can imagine so much more with the space now. I'm really excited to see everything coming together! I wonder how confused the interns will be when they arrive on Monday to a totally different room than they were expecting?
