Because the books that I need for research are all on course reserve, which means you can’t check them out of the library. So I’ve had to take all my notes here instead of at home. Not to mention one of the books is HUGE:
That is me, a normal-sized person, sitting in a chair that is supposedly intended for normal-sized people but which was clearly built for Hagrid. And that is a...

My professor for my Leonardo da Vinci seminar is...
Our final papers are due in a month, and she told us today that instead of coming to class to turn them in, we’re going to meet at her house. And she’s going to cook us an authentic Italian dinner and give us wine and just chat with us about our papers.
She. Is. Fabulous.
