The library is fairly busy. There's a lot of foot traffic and a lot of laptop circulation.
My friend Shaheer stopped by the front desk. His eyes were red-rimmed from lack of sleep. Biomedical engineering major; and leader of extracurricular groups. Recipe for red eyes. We exchange updates and chatter about life. He invites me to a Palestine Student Association dinner with speakers and dance performances, to be held Friday, April 3 in the Rome Student Ballroom.
I parked outside the Bookworms cafe entrance to library. This evening, I parked in the circle, on a patch of pavement with diagonal white stripes. I hope the parking police aren't on the prowl... hard to say with there being a basketball game.
Earlier, I parked legally - in one of the handicap spots. Walking towards the Homer Babbidge building, both times, I envisioned an architectural remodeling of our brutish building. Homer Babbidge Library (HBL) was built in the 1970's. If I am someday a rich donor, I should like to see a Louvre-style glass pyramid added to the top of the building. It would be called "The Atrium" and it would be filled with plant-life, room to stretch, and recuperate. It would feature high-tech, collaborative, innovative, maker-spaces and a MOOC center.
The Atrium would be a great architectural improvement... and very functional.
The Spanish homework that I fretted over this morning is not due until Friday. It will be a personal, historical account of Colorado's Black Forest Fire. In Spanish.
Tonight, I fret over these things:
- Exam content for Linguistics (office hours 8:15am tomorrow)
- Midterm presentation (for tomorrow), handout prep
- Food System Profile: Edible Insects (not yet started!!! due Wednesday)
- Getting enough sleep
I'll leave you with some video meditations on Library Spaces:
