Allen and Siya in the courtyard in Balch (my dorm building), totally pumped for a picture taking extravaganza on gorges (so clever!) day at the wonderful Cornell University:
The Balch Arch, from the Balch courtyard:
This is a special dorm/program house, Risley, across the street from Balch, home of lj user: KillerBobBarker, a dining hall that i've eaten at all of once, some fancy pants architecture, some creepy old paintings, and some other miscreants who i've never met.
Balch from the front. It's All About Balch! i need to get a pic of the side my room is on and its window.
AAAH. this is what you see when you look to your left when cross the footbridge heading south - waterfall from Lake Beebe into the gorge. it's amazing after it's rained really hard. the water is so powerful, and sometimes there's a rainbow.
View from the foot bridge looking over to the car bridge. I love that tree!
On the Arts Quad, Olin Library on your left, Jennie McGraw tower and Uris Library on your right.
This is Matt talking to someone (his mom?) on the cellphone and wondering why the hell we're lying in the grass.
Matt, Allen, Siya, and my blue suede shoes on the Arts Quad. I really like this pic...i guess we all just look so relaxed.
EZRA IS MY HOMEBOY.
View from the top of Libe Slope/back of Uris library. It's kinda cloudy, but you can still kinda see Lake Cayuga.
Same view, just looking to the left. on a clear day, you can see so far off into the mountains. it's beautiful.
I so cannot wait for winter.
People write messages with rocks in the gorge that you can see from the car bridge. It was kinda hard to read in the pic, so I outlined it for you.
View from down in the gorge, looking up at the car bridge. That little white dot that the arrow is pointing to is a car hubcap.
Allen is King of the Gorge!
Okay, so there's just this chair down in the gorge. I was trying to look like I was relaxing, but it turned out looking more like a porno shot (only with clothes on).
Intro to Stick Throwing - Cornell's most popular PE course!
Back in my dorm in Balch. This is Allen sitting in the chair in my room.
My Enginerds buddies! Nick (closest to the camera) and Matt. look at those awesome plaid sheets!
Rachel! on my bed! and my bulletin board between my two closet doors behind her!
GREEN ARGYLE RAIN BOOTS. this is actually a terrible picture of me cause it's like 8:30 AM and i had a couple minutes before i needed to leave for class and i'm all like "ohmygosh, it's monsooning outside. how the hell do i take a picture of myself?"
Oh yeah, and we ended up lying in the grass on the Arts Quad and not moving until dinner time, so i don't even have pics of the engineering quad, or all the other parts of this ginormous campus for that matter.
