Damn I missed a post... no more of that!

Monday, sunny Monday. It's a hot one out there folks. Golf class was rather steamy this afternoon, but that's okay because I have officially improved! Score one for the good guys.

Let's talk Aquinas for a second, shall we? Starting with all of the changes around campus. I am a senior this year, meaning for the past three years of my life, Aquinas has been something of a home base for me. I have formed a pattern over the last three years of where to hang out between classes, what to order for lunch at the corner, and where the best seat in the house is in every hang out available on this campus. Unfortunately, AQ has totally screwed that system up! For example, the hangout/ homework area in lower wege has been wiped out and replaced with offices of people I have never seen before in my life. I'm not entirely sure what they do, but clearly they're important because they beat out the commuter hang out for space. Then there's the fact that you can no longer create your own sandwich at the corner. You may have a prepackaged thing or nothing at all. And while you eat your prepackaged, 3 day old, soggy breaded deliciousness, you can now sit only on couches, where you must hold your food in your lap, or on hard wooden chairs in the lower section. The booths I once loved deeply are now gone (but not too far away, they're in the Moose, weird). This campus is crazy now, and not at all what I knew and loved. Sure there have been some nice changes like more computer kiosks and a couple of nice plasmas for event postings and such, but mostly the changes are just odd and seemingly unnecessary. I miss my sandwiches and my booths and my ugly purple couches separated from one another with totally inadequate glass walls.

I suppose eventually I'll get used to the changes and I will once again establish a routine, and knowledge of the best seat in every house. I have to accept this change and move on. After all, in May I will be done with Aquinas forever and I will say good bye to this school in the biggest change of all to occur on campus this year, the Stirrus Sports and Fitness Center (from now on, known as the "Stur"... so much simpler).

So I say to you all, good day and good sandwich hunting.
