Winter Wonderland

i talked to my sister for real this weekend. i have heard her voice a few times since being back at school, but i had really no idea what she was up to/ how she was doing. i found out that she was doing pretty well; still not the biggest school fan, but still a big thomas fan. also, she was loving the snow. yes, the loads of snow that she was going to board on because she has a season pass. o jealousy!

i do not have snow. in fact, it has been quite sunny lately.
this is my winter wonderland, ill give you a little tour...


this is what i look at when i walk to class in the morning. normally the fountain is running. not sure why its not. maybe they stopped it because they didnt want all the water to freeze in the January weather (or the more likely issues: someone put soap in it again or its just plain broken).



















ahhh, the good old James Building. not only do i work here, but i get to go to the third floor for my Principles of Design and Color class on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Im usually late to that class, but i always have my sketch pad and supply box!























this is another shot of the building.

















now if you were to walk with me to work or class we would go through the archway, cause its pretty, and we would see this little quad to the left. i rarely see people in there though. occasionally a teacher will decide to teach out there, that is, weather permitting of course.
















now we are in front of the James building right by the front lawn. this is the part of the building you can see if you are driving by Cal Baptist.















you cant really see the windows, but ill take take you in the front door to the first room on the left, which is a little sitting room that i do homework in quite frequently. its more comfortable than the library and no one every goes there. love that couch! ill admit ive unintentionally napped as well.















okay, there is not much else that is interesting about the James Building because it is old and most people spend time in the Yeager Center. o, that was a lie! there are catacombs below it because it used to be a hospital for the mentally ill, and when people died, the staff were not allowed to bring the desceased out the front door. you have to sneek into those though, so i have no pictures. maybe we can work something out if you come visit me for real. so now we are going to go back out the front door. look towards the right and we will see Palm Drive. the entire thing is lined in those trees and its even cooler if you are actually walking down the path.














and now im going to do homework, so well walk to our left, and take a left, heading back towards the quad, which is the basically square plot of land that has grass surrounded by sidewalk surrounded by the James building, library, Wallace Theater and the Yeager Center. In about 10 mintues i will be sitting at my computer checking people blogs.
