My Campus, the Warzone

Out on my walk today I was able to really appreciate all the activity taking place right now on campus. There are piles of raw materials like bricks, stone, marble, dirt, etc. in almost every main area. On the north side, near Spanish town, I noticed two new structures being built, one of which, I presume, is the new English library. Meanwhile, destruction is everywhere else - the main fountain, old English library, and cafeteria #1 near Russian Square have been demolished; the main gate and road off campus are closed due to projects happening over there; and workers, like ants, have been working industriously since dawn, crawling all over the work areas. Peter Hall continues to be a place of construction (and has been since the day I moved here 2 summers ago). My hope is that the main refacing project will be completed by next month so there is less banging and drilling directly outside my windows. Thankfully, they don't start working on my building until after 8:00AM.
