Walden III....AKA My Office

One perk about doctoral school is having an office, which is called Walden III (is the coolest name for all the behavior analyst nerds :D). New doctoral students start with their office in Walden III (which is actually the basement of the building) and then eventually move up to the 3rd floor where the faculty members have their offices. The relationship between faculty and students is amazing!

In Walden III I share my office with 5 other roommates. My desk is in the back, left corner and Chase's desk is in the back, right corner (with the swords). Somehow we got the two prime locations - more room and more secluded.

I haven't spent too much time in my office just yet, but I am working on creating a schedule to be down there more often. My goal is to spend "x" amount of time working in my office and then spending time in the evening relaxing at home. However, I am struggling to balance the work and relaxation time. This probably doesn't come as a news flash to you, since I am a workaholic.

Demolition Derby

Last night a couple friends (my new Utah friends) and I went to a demolition derby. It was my first time attending one. For anyone who does know what a demolition derby is - it is an event that consists of five or so vehicles (trucks or cars) competing by deliberately ramming their vehicle into one another. The last vehicle still alive, somewhat running, is the winner. The derby was held on a dirt track that was soaked with water. During half-time a dance competition was held in the mild of the track - and some MUD WRESTLING occurred! The best part was being in an environment where you could swear and know one was judging you. So far the best money spent on some good clean fun. I can't wait for the next season, since this was the last one of the summer.
