Blue Days at Comlab

Let me tell you where I am today. I’m pounding keys in front of an obsolete computer monitor, amidst a sea of blue on the interior’s wall, in a building painted with baby pink. They call this place Computer Lab, where obsolete computer sets adorn its space and students murmur on the internet connection’s very, very slow connectivity.

Fatal Naiveté: Code Blue

Let me tell you where I am today. I’m pounding keys in front of an obsolete computer monitor, amidst a sea of blue on the interior’s wall, in a building painted with baby pink. They call this place Computer Lab, where obsolete computer sets adorn its space and students murmur on the internet connection’s very, very slow connectivity.
