Lack of light...
Apr. 1st, 2007 09:21 pmThe lack of light in this apartment drives me crazy!
I have a desklamp on a small corner bookcase behind me that I sometimes use to shine some more light on my desk (which is my work area for pretty much... everything). Major problem is that it is incredibly hot and having it on for too long will make me break into a sweat x_x But the bookcase is also very small and unstable (the supporting leg fell off... it is a corner bookcase so *relatively* stable, but it is also a folding bookcase and fairly tall but not very wide, so it doesn't have a lot of support without the leg). So I can't put anything else there, really...
It does make me even more excited for this apartment in Brookline though. It has ceiling lights in every room not to mention huge windows that will let in tons of light during the day. Even with the shades up and the curtains aside in the middle of the day, our bedroom now is still pretty dark. This apartment has only 6 lights - 2 in the kitchen, one in the downstairs walk-in closet, one in the party, one in the bathroom, and one in the hallway. Nothing in the living room or the bedrooms :(
I don't *really* need light to be working on the computer I guess - I mean, my screen is lit after all! But it still is a lot more comfortable to work with some light shining on me :/
I'm working on the new design for my portfolio website. I think it looks good so far! I also looked on craigslist and found a TON of job listings, part time and full time and freelance, that seem interesting. And it is the site with the most entry level or entry level friendly jobs I have come across... which seems silly :( Unlike Monster.com where my searches usually yielded like 3 real jobs and then a whole bunch of "work from home and earn $3000 a week!"... yeah that doesn't sound like a scam at all.
I also just remembered that I need to declare my Japanese minor before I graduate O_O I better find out how to do that...
