It's in the can

Restroom, oh restroom, my kingdom for a restroom.

I'm a double major - journalism and music - and so I spend a lot of my time on the second floor of the 'N' Building and the first floor of the 'F' Building.

Both floors are johnless.

The only other floor I've counted in this category is the third floor of the 'L' Building, which happens to be where the Journalism Club meets.

So I often find myself on a ten-minute sojourn to find a proper place to relieve myself. It's a hassle. And there's a soft drink machine on the second floor of the 'N' Building, right outside of my office, so it's basically a big tease.

Liquids have to go somewhere eventually, folks.

But at least that floor has a vending machine. The bottom floor of the 'F' Building has none.

Now, for those not familiar, the bottom floor of the 'F' Building is for all intents and purposes the music floor. All the classrooms are music classes and all the offices are music faculty.

Well, musicians have to go potty too. And they get thirsty every now and then, especially during singing classes.

Trust me.

Now, I can see them not wanting to promote liquids being placed near expensive musical equipment, but drinks are brought in from outside anyway.

But I'm trying to keep my dilemma in perspective. During the college's formative years, the campus was in flux. The 'N' Building wasn't part of the original plan, for instance, and the 'F' Building wasn't completed yet when the campus opened.

So my mind knows that the layout is forgivable but my bladder is holding a grudge. But I'm also aware that we'll be remodeling both buildings soon and new buildings are being erected.

Please, for the sake of everyone's bladders, give us a grand bounty of restrooms.
