i just got back from a whole new world. my school. georgia state has made remarkable improvements in the last however many years, only i hadn't really taken advantage of them since i've been back in school there. we went down to the student recreation center today because the weather was so freaking cold and windy. seriously. at church, we saw snow flurries. it is april freaking 15. what's up with that? anyway... we had planned to do today as a pace run (code for track), but there were several obstacles. namely the freakish cold and wind. we even considered joining a gym so that we would have a place to run. fortunately, i'm a student, and students have access to rec centers! :-)
the place is really amazing - and the track is rubber so it was all nice and easy on our well-used and abused bones and muscles. there are all kinds of nice equipment pieces, good space, the building is beautiful, the people seemed nice. in short, it was great. and we ran really fast, which makes me v. v. happy. i'm proud to be a runner, and i'm proud of my school.
the prejudice part is the parking situation. who has ever heard of a school that wouldn't let its students park there? seriously. all of the student parking areas are closed on the weekends. that, in my dear sweet humble opinion, is retarded. i can't figure it out... don't they want people to use their facilities? their libraries? and i know that there are programs that have classes on saturdays, too! if i could get past that, i would probably spend some time complaining that the gym closes so early on sundays, but i need to get over the parking situation first!!
