I've got two classes in the academic quad, which is full of all these really old really beautiful buildings. The one on top is Gibson Hall, the building at the very front of the campus that people on the streetcar are always snappin' pictures of. Being a student of this fine institution I got to take a picture of the back corner of it. I suppose I could have walked around to the front and taken in the whole front of the building with the huge Tulane University sign and all that, but I had a class in like 10 minutes. The gargoyle is above one of the side doors to Mayer Hall, where I have Ethics. He and I stared each other down for a few minutes before class. There's little fellers like him everywhere. He's only about a foot high, maybe.
In astronomy class I came up with a new 19th century gentleman who buys railroads and stuff name. My new 19th century wealthy business man name is Zebulun Anaximander Vanadium. So yeah, that's what I did on Tuesday, stared down gargoyles and came up with a 19th century mogul name.
Additionally I got a job tutoring kids at a local elementary school. I'm not entirely sure if this is gonna be the gig for me but it pays better than all the other work study positions.

ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous buildings! I hope to come back some day when I have adjusted to your whole growing up thing and actually enjoy seeing the campus. So far, I have not adjusted. You really should just come on home and live with your mother until people start to make fun of how useless you are.
