beauty, thy name is...
shaktimaan is back after fighting torturous forces intent on ruining the lives of poor, innocent souls. victory to the innocent, and all is well with the world!
campus is beautiful these days. especially so because the rains are going to start soon, and the world will turn wet and grey. i like it when it's warm and yellow. it's the best kind of world. there are leaves in the air - in various breath-taking shades of orange, yellow, and green. last week, there was a student activities fair in white plaza and the place was immersed in song and dance. the clock tower is actually audible on my side of campus now, and i see the gorgeous quad all day long. the only thing i could complain about, ever so slightly, is that it takes so long to get from one place to another. i am mostly on foot these days, and every walk - home to school, school to home (duh), class to class, to lunch, etc. - is so time-consuming, especially with stanford's distances. despite the forced lack of efficiency, i can't say i'm not enjoying it though. it is exciting indeed to look up into the blue sky and feel an overwhelming sense of peace and calm.
oh, and home is beautiful too. it was a pig sty for the last few days, but we took measures to clean it yesterday and it's all brand new again. going to bed is a beautiful experience, thanks to the rug and lamp that do wonders to the cosiness ratings. waking up, however, is super hard :(. i am yet to figure out a way to make myself jump out of bed, unless it's a monday or wednesday (when classes start at 9).
and then, there's the beautiful school of ed building. it's one of the oldest departments on campus, and one of the oldest buildings. naturally, i guess, since education must have existed before the school was born. the bathrooms are especially beautiful. they are just so beautifully lit. massive windows let in unobstructed light at all times of day (when the sun is around), and the tiles aren't boring and white but have a nice beige look about them. a most pleasant contrast to evans/soda/gates/packard/ms (all the department buildings from my previous life). perhaps that means something. perhaps one must like the bathrooms in one's department to know that one is in the right place. (no, i'm kidding.)
oh, and my class. i love my class. everyone is friendly and makes pleasant conversation. i've gotten to know them a lot better in the last few days, and the thing i never realized about small classes (because i was never in one) is that they give you a chance to know everyone personally and well. we know what everyone's interests and passions are, we know what classes would interest them and what wouldn't. we all suffer torture in the learning environments class, and that brings us closer too.
my d.school team is pretty cool too. it's a team of four, and we just got assigned to each other yesterday. i know i'm going to spend 12-14 hours with them every week this quarter, and it's a nice (and new) feeling to really be looking forward to it.
ok, i'm going to stop writing about my life now so i can go live it instead. thanks for reading. pardon the excess sugar and cheese. it's thursday's fault. the week is cruisin' going forward.
