Ladybugs Attack

Those tiny buggers were everywhere! They're so tiny that I couldn't get any really great pictures of them, but you get the idea. I think that they might be from Asia, but either way they were an infestation. We had some stuck between the screen and the window...they're still there, but now they're dead.

The Death Trap

This is the death trap. It's a bridge that connects the Alumni gym to the fancy new gym. Today I saw one of the many idiot Chicago birds fly straight into it, fall to the ground, and then almost get run over by some kids on bikes. the bird didn't even fly into the clear side, he flew into the side with the giant sign in the window. I understand that birds have tiny birds, just look at Aletta, but flying into a great big sign? Someone told me that the little bird decals on the windows are there to keep them from flying into them...doesn't seem to be working.

Campus

The first picture is of the oh so exciting steam plant, the campus tower apartments, and the corner of Cudahy library. Next is Dumbach Hall where I have my history class and my theology class. The third picture is of the big green lawn, the big gym, and the biggest/my residence hall. I took the picture of the lake and cathedral by the Sullivan Student Center, right next to the fountain in the next picture. The art decco lady is on the building in the following picture. I believe that's the Mundelein Center for the fine and performing arts. It's a big building. Behind all the cars in the next picture is the Jesuit Residence where I watched the first presidential debate and got Kaela registered to vote. It's got a damn nice dinning hall. The building with the dome is Cudahy Science Hall where I take my "soft science" class. The next picture is of the Information Commons where I have my writing class and where all the spiders hang out during the day. Finally, there's Damen hall. The big concrete block is supposed to be torn down within a few years, but I can't figure out where they'll put all the other classes. I suppose it means we'll be having more night classes.

The room

My room is getting pretty tricked out. We've got the curtains, the lights, and of course, the handy dandy white board. (BTW Clare, my bed is so taller than yours...)
