Walking Home
Saturday, July 4th, 2009I’ve been taking the same path to and from classes/work for at least the past two years. Here are some of the things I see.
This guy (Deinonychus sp.) hangs in the stairwell in the building that my lab is in. Sort of comforting to have him as a protector.
Leaving the building, you can see the tower that contains most of the biology faculty and their labs. It’s one of the tallest buildings around.
One of the more scenic streets to walk down. One block over and it’s mostly concrete and asphalt, and a killer wind tunnel in winter.
This bridge has been here for quite some time, ever since construction began on the road. Construction has long since stopped, but the “temporary” bridge pathway is staying.
This building houses the main concert hall as well as the main dining hall for the university. (Front and back views here)
This library holds a copy of the Gutenberg. We’re that awesome. I worked inside there for a summer. I guess that makes me cool by osmosis.
Another library. I also worked inside here for about a year. I was a library expert for a while.
I think I’ve crossed this intersection every day for the past four years.
The Home Stretch. In previous years, I would be home by now, living in the dorm. Last summer I moved into my own apartment and haven’t looked back.
Finally, Home Sweet Home.
There you have it. My sometimes long, sometimes not long enough walk home.
