Paradise Found by Hilarious Bee

For me, the transplanted Pennsylvanian in the unknowably large city of Toronto, the office my student newspaper has become a certain paradise. It's rather homey, I probably spend as much time there as I do in my dorm after all. Editors bond as we stay up until 4:30 am copy-editing and printing and thinking up witty headlines, and it's a very well-used and beloved space. But it's also very old and rather run-down as many under-appreciated units at a ginormous public universities.
The clutter is ridiculous, in the news office especially where I focused my documentation. There are layers of books, back-issues and various odds and ends left by editors past. Occasionally one comes across items so odd, so out-of-place, it's a mystery how they would even and up in a student news office. The place also reminds me of my high school in a very good way. In short, I love it :)
I should also say that there is talk at the Varsity of actually cleaning the place up. If it actually goes through, I will miss the clutter, but I have a feeling that it will return somehow.

Yeah, I think that's the simple explanation for why I feel so at home there. Thanks for the vote :)

Many have napped on it, none should have.
Hee!
I am inordinately affected by the place where you're getting a lot of work done being considered a paradise.
Damn, that DOES resemble Delta. Incredibly much so. Looking at the murals gave me vertigo.
