stoutfellowIt looks as though our three-years-and-counting exile is soon to end.
In January 2014, the math department was relocated to the athletics building, while the old science building was renovated. (Bio and chem were moved to the new Science Lab West; physics went to another building.) We were promised that it would only be a year or so before we were returned to our old home, but budget battles in the state legislature slowed the work. "A year and a half" was the next word; "two years"; "eventually". Real Soon Now....
Yesterday afternoon, the chair came by with floor maps, to ask me which office I wanted when we moved back. I had no real preference - as long as there's room for me to sit and work, and for my students to sit and talk, I'm fine - but chose a room more or less directly above my old office. (We used to have the first floor; now, we'll have the second and half of the third.)
:sigh: I dislike relocating, but it will be good to be closer to our classrooms, and to not have to cross that enormous parking lot several times a day.
