Another week gone. Time seems to fly, especially when I have tons of homework! My first analytic review for Theory is due tonight. I'm at 1001 words. Ugh!
Kelly came to visit me. Happy face! We stayed overnight in a nearby motel, had dinner and breakfast together and then he went home. The drive here took 9 hours instead of just under 7 because President Obama was in Seattle and as Kelly drove through, they closed portions of the freeway as the Presidential motorcade passed. It was difficult to say goodbye to Kelly again. Sad face.
Bellingham and the WWU campus are eco-conscious in a big way. There are recycling bins everywhere including our rooms. We also have a compost bucket. It says on top of the bucket that anything that was once alive can be composted. One of my suite mates threw a big ball of aluminium foil in there. Um, I don't think that metal was alive.
Shenanigans ensue every night in Fairhaven Commons. It's all fun and games until someone breaks a window. Some guys decided it would be funny to throw a bottle through the window of the lounge in the building next door. Really?
The lambs are still screaming. One poor little soul in the daycare downstairs still sobs every moment he/she is there. The rest of the kids are doing great. I can hear them chanting "I want ice cream" out on the playground.
I have a great parking spot, so I don't want to drive anywhere. I discovered last weekend that if I get up early enough on the weekend to the store then I can get the same spot back. When we went to the store this afternoon, little orange cones miraculously appeared from somewhere and held my parking space until we got back. (They weren't traffic cones, don't worry.)
Random photo time!
This is command central. I spend hours here doing homework or reading.
Our window with pretty curtains. My bed is on the left.
The window they broke on the bottom left of the building. The glass roof is the patio of the daycare. We can see the daycare kids playing out there.
Out our window to the courtyard
The Resident Advisor for our stack is right next door to our room.
Industrial stairs to the main floor.
Pond in the courtyard
These bricks are all over campus. They are tricky to walk on. Sometimes the bricks stick up and trip an unsuspecting grad student.
Trail to campus
On the way to class. Those stairs don't go anywhere. I think they are seating.
Communications building
The Anthropology Department is in this building. There is a store, a Starbucks and a Subway on the bottom floor along with a seating area called The Atrium.
Anthropology classrooms and labs are on the 3rd floor.
Cheeky sports schedule poster!
We have three keys for our dorm. One for the building, one for our suite and one for our room. We color coded them with nail polish.
You know it's going to rain when they put out the sandbags in the courtyard.
Skeleton lights in our window :)
