Nov. 30th, 2007 04:33 pmThe last, most stubborn leaves are finally windborne.
Most of the bulk of the trees on the Hill disappeared over break.
The Mall is starting to be mowable again.
The sidewalks are less squishy when wet.
When the sun is out, more sunlight fills the air-space. I can see farther than before.
It's kind of nice. Things feel more open. I can see from Donner when the buses are coming. Convenient.
Yet I still remember what a beautiful color of green the leaves used to be near IM Field.
It's weird to think that they will return. They look so dead, those skeletons of trees. That's not how I know trees, pointy dead things stretching upwards to the sky. Somehow they seem less climbable, less hospitable. But trees. They are still reaching upwards, spreading, whatever tree archetype blah blah blah.
I have to get used to that.
In other news, sleep deprivation can make me literally bounce off walls (much to the surprise of uninitiated passers-by, Mallory is a prude :P, Dr. Heard looks pretty badass sprinkling borax onto flames (it turns them greenish), and some people are only nice when they want things.
And I forgot! Today's interp presentations put me in high spirits. Even though the majority of the presentations were poorly executed, I gained more faith in video games.
