The art of not living in the dark...

So my roommate came back to tech today after enjoying some time at home this weekend. With her, she brought string, tape, and pulleys. At any other college this might have been odd, but shes a mechanical engineer and so I honestly did even blink at the contents of her bag. Instead, she informed me that we would now be able to use those pulleys and string to turn the light on and off from our beds. Genius! And so we spent the next few hours figuring and reconfiguring this mess of materials into a random assortment around our room. Now we have little pulleys attached to walls, the ceiling, and our beds. We used physics, engineering, and creativity all so we could be lazier in the future. Mission accomplished!
