Brickbrickbrick. English/history/communications building.


Front face of the main building ("Main Hall"). Want crazy? Some of those are student rooms, even though they're right above the lobby.


That little house is where oil painters go. No other class is allowed in there. You don't have to take down your stuff between classes; you get full use of your personal studio space at any time, since it's a strict "as many students in the class as there are permanent spots in the death house" policy.


The outdoor plays are done here.


Front campus looks better in spring, with rolling hills and full trees, but this is good too.


The view from my window. I always have the curtains down, because these windows a stone's throw from mine are faculty offices. I've waved good morning to them before, but generally no interaction. Too weird. Sometimes faculty also walk up through the dorm to get to that raised walkway that you see (it's on the second floor) to get to that building, since if it's raining, that means less rain between the parking lot and their offices. When I lived on first floor of that building, some professors passed within three feet of where I slept every class day (since my bed was up against the wall which met the stairwell). If you think that's bad, some student rooms are directly above classrooms. Small colleges have strange layouts.


And our dining hall. Stir-Fry Guy (who makes more than just stir-fry, for instance, today was vegan falafel) is fucking amazing. He's only there for lunch, but he makes amazing food. He once made salmon cakes which were better than any I'd ever had in a restaurant. I'll miss him when I leave; he's a really nice guy and always remembers students' dining preferences, so even if he has a meat dish, he'll tell us vegetarians/pescatarians what are the best meals being served that day without meat. Also, if his dish is meat, he'll always make at least one soup that is vegetarian. He also makes a wicked shrimp something delicious or other. I have no idea why he works here .

Ooh, snow! Always wanted to feel snow. Closest I got was fridge frost.

Is the little painter's room locked, or do people just stay away?

Oh, and Pick, what kind of vegetarian are you anyway? Not a fan of any farmed products, including eggs?

Nice! Spent the evening watching the first two Harry Potter movies with a new friend. Wondering if I should try to hook her up with a friend of mine, but I dunno if they'd be any more compatible than I am with her.

Thanks!

And I'm... wow, just surviving I guess. I've gotten a ways through editing chapter 8 and there will be an update this weekend. It has Kesyl! Lots of Kesyl.

I asked him about it and he wasn't interested. Fair enough I guess.

Eh, well you did you part looking out for their potential interests. You're a good friend!
