adiva_calandiaOh my god. *laughing*
Okay, so. This:
is the CMU campus. That lovely green rectangle in the middle is the Cut:
Isn't it lovely? I live across Forbes Ave. from the Cut, in the building marked 41 on the map. The Cut is on a slight downhill slope to Forbes.
A pipe -- judging from the color of the water, a sewage pipe -- broke under the Cut this afternoon. So imagine that lovely green quad -- well, white right now -- with a fifteen-foot-wide river of brown water, probably a couple inches deep in places, flowing aaaaaaall the way down it to Forbes.
I have to admit, though, the effect it makes as it falls down the stairs by "Walking To the Sky" (thatincredibly phallic bizarre sculpture in the second picture) is rather lovely. If you don't think about it too hard.
Best thing, though? In spite of the river obstructing weak-stomached traffic -- it's the last day of classes, and there're several inches of snow on the ground. I had two very brief snowball fights with a Californian and a Floridian who had never had them before.
And, of course, classes are OVER.
1. Foundations paper due Sunday.
2. Casebook due Monday.
3. Interp. paper due Wednesday.
4. CAH final Tuesday night.
5. Religion final Wednesday afternoon.
Now I'm going to get this stuff in my head about the semiotics of political campaigns down before the caffeine wears off, then get lunch, then . . . who knows. It's Friday, classes are out, maybe I'll do something fun!
