I went on a run with one of my friends last night, and part
of it was my route between some of my classes.
It was kind of eerie to be passing buildings that are
usually busy with people going in and out of the doors and having plenty of
room to run on the pathways and not having to weave in and out of mobs of
people. It was relaxing to see such a busy place be at a stand still. Going by
the Quad with the sprinklers going was the best part. That white noise from the
sprinklers and the rhythmic sounds from our feet planting on the ground from
running allowed me to stop thinking about homework and everything that I had on
my list to do and just enjoy what was around me. Usually when I walk by the
Quad, I’m rushing to my next class or heading back to the dorms or stressing
about my long list of homework items to accomplish.
We also passed Mackay Stadium on our run, and it was quite
impressive to look into such an empty and quiet stadium. We commented on how
loud and packed it is for home football games, and noticing the vast contract
was remarkable. Noticing polar opposite settings in places on campus at
totally different times was really cool. It seemed like University of Nevada
was a totally different place.
It’s the people here (students, faculty, alumni, visitors,
etc) who bring to life the university.
