off by one for 2005 April 4 (entry 0)

Mon Apr 04 13:45:49 hanson hall versus my air conditioner:

I will really miss Hanson Hall at NPU. I had so many good memories, wrote so many songs in the practice rooms, etc. I also broke into that building late at night many times to play piano in the chapel. It's something I would never do now, but at the time it seemed like no big deal and some of my most enduring college memories entail playing those grand pianos the darkened chapel, with the lights from Foster Ave. rolling by.

It's also the site of some of my biggest college failures (freshman spring keyboard skills jury, anyone?). Basically, the most significant place on campus for me.

I won't miss the airconditioner in my office. It's about 20x30 inches and sounds like a refridgerator truck. We can't change the settings on it very well, so it's basically off or on. Plus, it's on my side of the divider, so my office gets to be freezing while Ken bakes on the other side (what does he bake, you ask? Cookies!) Ken rigged up an IBM server box as a little AC conduit. It looks ridiculous, but it works and that means that I freeze just a little less. It's terrible.
