OK... This thread is as good a time as any for the big reveal....
BlazingGoat is back matriculating at his Alma Mater!
There... I said it.
Without going into too much detail your Goat is now a grad student working on his Masters.
I just started after some 15 years out of school! OMGWTFBBQ!
The long and short of it is that yours truly is having to now hump (thanks to a poor parking situation, failure of his own to pony up the extra bucks for parking under the Education Building as befitting a grad student (cheap, old, bastard!!!), and due to the major surgery being done on campus) the following distance each T/Th morning:
Park in the fractured lot between the hotel/west campus field and the Engineering/Business Building. Walk through same building across behind the old honors building (it still honors?; you know? the Church.) to Humanities, then across the strasse through the education building, across the next strasse and then down to the new Heritage Hall where my undergrad prereqs are.
The ballfield (is it one or two now? Baseball
and softball too? I can't tell. It's such a mess.) is tore up from the floor up, the parking outside that and Engineering is tore up, the library is tore up, and the old Blazer Cafe in Hill Center is a madhouse at lunch (too small)*.
The Good: Starbucks!!
Anyone who has a problem with the new Starbucks in our library can suck it! It's like a bar--the only thing keeping me sane...
I'm with DB. Couldn't they have done all this modernization in the 15 years I wasn't there.
*Hello 3 hour class break and hump to Purple Onion!
