I’m sitting in the Aero/Astro library, and I just finished typing my column for this week. It’s a rant about how people don’t know how to ride bikes safely here. I hate using my column for rants, but I feel like this one is vaguely justified. It sucks having to fear for life and limb while riding to class.
I like this place, the A/A library. It feels homey, not unlike the study lounge back at Tech, but better. We have carpet in here, even if it is hideously red, and there’s a rooftop terrace right outside. There are always people in here doing homework and writing email and doing crossword puzzles. It’s comfortable here. I have started to spend most of my free time during the day in here, and it makes me happy to be around my fellow students. Weird, eh?
