#6


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.
