gnat takes a field trip

to evanston!

grad student orientation was this monday. since all of my classes are on the chicago campus, only about 6% of the day's activities were applicable to me. (in fact, only the welcome to northwestern speech and the post orientation happy hour were at all applicable to me.) still, i got to see a little bit of the main campus, and there was free lunch. so basically, win-win. here's a very poorly taken picture of "the arch." you can't see it, but it says northwestern university.

now, guys - i'm probably a little bit biased, but in my opinion ucla is just the prettiest damn college campus there is. the cream and brick buildings, the rolling green hills that are perfect for taking a nap or reading a book between classes... still, even i have to admit that there is no place at ucla that has a view like this:

i spent the better part of the afternoon reading at this spot. not bad, northwestern. not bad at all.
