| I always thought I would be weary of the U of O campus forever. On my last day of school there, I skipped back to my car with a gleeful smile because I was finally DONE with that place. Well, after 4 years, the loathing has worn off. It's not that I didn't like the school, or that I didn't think it was beautiful. It was all the walking. Every day, for 2 years straight, I would have to speed-walk for 10 minutes to get to my class. Then I would have to speed-walk another 10 minutes to get to my next class. Then I would have to walk 10 minutes to get to the library, then walk 10 minutes back to my car and rush to work. During all that, add a backpack full of dense textbooks and Norton Anthologies. One January, it rained every day. I didn't own boots. I didn't even own a decent coat. My bottom quarter of my jeans were always soaked. Why didn't I get a bike? | |
Today, I didn't have a backpack, I didn't have a class to rush to, and I didn't have to navigate through mobs of students. I could just enjoy the place. Enjoy the architecture. Enjoy the fact I wasn't going to have to buy really expensive books soon and stand in an hour long line to purchase them. Hurrah! It's amazing how much prettier a campus is when you're not a student there.
