Board Room Classes (no, not "bored classes")

A few days ago when a structural engineer was on campus, he found a crack in one of the beams in the commons chapel, so for the past few days it's been closed, and probably will be for a few more weeks until they fix it.
Since they had to have Mass somewhere, they had it in room106 for the first day, so Mr. Shield's class moved from there to room 317, where my section has Theology with Mr. O'Rielly. Since he was using that room, we got to have class in the Board of Governor's council room in the library. That's the room ehind the railing above hte entrance in this picture, and the room that opens onto the balcony in this picture.
It was pretty cool having a class there, since the atmosphere is more refined and elegant thatn the usual classrooms, since the wall are lined with large bookcases of gold-gilded tomes, with nice statues, and the view, instead of some grass, looks out over all of campus and the mountains surrounding.

Anyways, the temprary chapel has been moved to the library, and Masses are now held in the main part thereof, so it looks like we won't be having class there anymore, but it was quite enjoyable the two times we were able too. (waving to people from the balcony before class was fun too :D )
