Carol!

[abka]

I just ran into a librarian who let me know that I have a doored carol for this upcoming year!!! (I have no idea if "carol" is the correct spelling of this word, but that's how it's pronounced.) All grad. students get a carol, usually first year it's an open one in the library (basically a desk with bookshelves and an internent connection) and second year you get a doored carol which is best-described as a small office with a window (and bookshelves and an internet connection) and worst-described as a desk in a closet (with a window). The doored ones are a lot quieter, but there are only 9 of them and 12 of us so although the odds were on my side, it's still luck of the draw. I'm so happy, this will make studying this year so much more pleasant, plus I won't have to cart around my laptop so much. They're not locked, but people are usually leave things more readily in doored carols then just out in the library. The door has a lot of power. Okay, really have to go now!

Yay for nice office-space that you'll be in this year!

And apparently, it's spelled "carrol (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=carrol)." I've definitely used the word before, but I don't think I'd ever seen it in writing until now.
