Before and After

Fall semester started Wed., Aug. 27. They weren't quite done remodeling the English Department when we moved in Tues., Aug. 26. My furniture all ended up in my office but I have no phone or computer access (Ethernet or wireless)! We're all hoping things will get better next week.

The second floor of French Hall looks quite different since the Big Remodeling.

Quite a difference, eh? The change from green wallpaper in the halls and light tan paint in the office to bright white paint everywhere has made a huge difference in the amount of light reflected. It's so bright!

I'll be glad when the computer access is fixed so I don't have to leave my department to use my laptop!
