It's always so satisfying to write and research for a paper for four hours in the study lounge in your own little polished maple cubicle and know, as your contact lenses are sticking to your eyeballs and your hands and feet are freezing cold as they always are when you write, that you're finally doing something comfortable after so many weeks of letting the ink dry. Makes me feel good inside.
All right then. Back to the paper in the glorious studious quiet of the study lounge.
"The heights by which great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
