I was walking back from Smullin and was looking at the quad and realized that it is a very interesting area on campus. From where i am sitting, i feel as though i can see mostly everything going on. I am watching groups of students walking towards Goudy Commons and i am watching other groups walking back towards their dorms. The Quad is an interesting place on campus. It has many different uses and has a different purpose to everyone around. There are people studying in groups, people studying alone, people sleeping, people playing sports, and then there are the people merely sauntering across it. It is a nice community meeting place on campus and when it is nice outside it is even more appreciated. The history of the Quad was also very interesting to me as well. That all the bricks that made up waller hall were made from the clay under the quad. I think everyone knows that history and most feel similar to me in the sense that whenever looking at the quad and at waller hall they picture it happening in their head and don't really believe it.
While there is not much nature that is catching my eye at the moment, the fresh taken care of grass just doesn't even look real to me. In Philadelphia you are lucky if you have green grass through the summer, at least where i am. The grass is thin, prickly, and a dull green. Here it is thick and luscious and you can walk barefoot on it and not regret not wearing shoes. Its all even and so perfect looking that when you take a certain group of people to focus in on it looks like a postcard, or a picture that could easily be used on the school web page. Its such an interesting area on campus and is very fun to relax here and watch what's happening around you.
