not so moley after all

I extern on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I mostly research and write, which I generally enjoy. What I don't like is the room I work in. It has a dreary beige motif, and the walls are covered with papers dated 2004 and earlier. The fifteen desks are empty, and there's a big sign on the wall that reads "Welcome Summer Interns." There are no windows and, because it's an enclosed room, no passers-by. Sometimes, an intern on a special project from another department will sit at one of the desks, which adds some life to the room. Most days, however, I'm stuck in this ghost town of a room, driving myself mad with utter isolation. Today is one of those days.

The only things that keep me from going completely mad are listening to iTunes and looking at this cutie.
