A day around campus

The day started at the park with the dogs. I didn’t have time to walk them around Lake Calhoun, so Fair Oaks Park had to do.

I then skipped to The Purple Onion Café in Dinkytown. This was my view for three hours:

I was at the Purple Onion to write a response paper for my German Cinema class.

I left the café just as the girl behind me started a full-blown rant about how going to college is equivalent to military service. Her friend then said that he would rather be shot at than complete his economics homework. I resisted the temptation to glare.

I didn’t appreciate most of my time at the University of Miami, so I can’t fault the bratty undergrad. He has no idea how privileged he is.

I then took one of the smaller bridges on campus back to the law school.

My ears froze on that bridge. I was convinced that I had frost bite but I knew it was not THAT cold because the river is no longer completely frozen over:

It still hurt to be outside.

I got comfort food, settled into the tax clinic, and started drafting letters and calling new clients.

Whatever, my diet is uncompromised.

After a few hours at the tax clinic it was time to go back across the river for German Cinema. I was SHOCKED that it was bright at 5pm because I am used to pitch blackness at 4:30pm. Does this mean I can stop taking Vitamin D pills?

I walked by the shoe tree on the way to class:

Apparently seniors throw shoes on it for good luck on their last final. I suspect these are the stinky, long-forgotten gym shoes discovered during end-of-the-year dorm clean out.

The night ended at the gym.

I got to reacquaint myself with the equipment and stare at the roided bulky undergrads. I want to be a Gorilla Juicehead for Halloween, so I have a long way to go. Fist pumps!
