My life is surrounded by construction walls.
Work continues on the big new building that makes access to ITS circuitous at best. It looks pretty much done on the outside, but everything is still majorly blocked off. For some reason, they decided that the campus center that was just built two years ago needed to be completely redone and now, turning the entire center of campus into one big construction zone. More of the building has opened up, but as I was waiting for my lunch at the Coop today, I noticed the green walls blocking the Coop's unfinished back patio, facing the green walls across the street that form the boundary of the Lincoln-Edmunds building. It's a little depressing.
It's worse at work, though. The entrance to what remains of the old parking lot is under tarps. Rumors abound as to whether or not Sleeping Beauty Castle is going to go under tarps as well (at this point, it probably won't happen until after the holidays). There are various fences and walls up in a few places in Adventureland and New Orleans Square, with little tidyings up happening all around. I'm just glad I don't have to regularly deal with the Great Wall of Tomorrowland, though it gave me headaches enough on Grad Nites. The major construction going on for the Subs has pretty much that entire land behind walls. It's like I can't go anywhere where something is done; everything is being worked on.
My room isn't much better. Now, my room should be behind refurbishment walls, with an entire team working on getting it ready for human occupation. It's not remotely habitable right now. Maybe that's why I've been feeling kind of rundown and incapable of doing pretty much anything lately--it's the sheer oppression of stuff in my room. Maybe, if I can get my room up to the point where I know it should be, I can get out of this stagnation I've been trapped in and actually get shit done.
A girl can dream, right?
