Ph. D. life is hard

When the previous occupant of my desk came in to clear out his stuff during the pandemic, there was a mountain of shoe boxes underneath it. He confided in me that he had always wished to build a box fort out of them, but alas it were not to be. So when the opportunity arose I constructed a box fort in his honour over the weekend.

Completely unknown to me, he was coming to the department on Monday to visit. So he was the first person to see my Magnum Opus. I hope I did him proud.
