Campus in the Morning!

Update on Campus life today!

Every morning I take bus to campus. The bus times are listed but they are the times that the bus leaves the pick up area. So, in the morning the bus leaves at 7:15. I generally leave my room around 7:10 to get to the pick up area in time for the bus to leave on time. The ride to campus is generally calm. There is some noise but not much. It is 7:15 in the morning afterall. On rare occassions there is a "talker", but generally they keep the conversation quiet. On most mornings you can find a few students trying to get an edge on studying for that 15 minutes. Which I can understand why you want to savor every moment to study in, but the bus ride is bumpy and curvy. Studying in any moving vehicle on a curvy bumpy road is not for me or anyone riding with me who wants to arrive clean to our destination. Funny thing is as the test day draws near more and more students are reading their notes on the bus. Until the very day of the tests and then the whole bus has their notes out reading away. If you are observant you can tell exactly when blocks are because all students will have thier notes out all the time.

We arrive at the campus around 7:30 am and the students disperse from the doors of the bus. Organized chaos insues as some students head to the student lounge to put away their excess luggage, and others head to the right toward the library and the campus convience store/cafeteria. The campus is alive with students who are hustling to study that last note just before the test that will make or break them.
