Mayfest

As I look back on the past 3 years in Syracuse I realize that mayfest marks a day in which I have lost a good friend of mine... consecutively. I didn't partake in the festivities this year (mayfest in syracuse generally involves getting sloshed on euclid ave with a bunch of 'bros' and scantily clad females)... but I was not productive as I had intended to be.

The past two years mayfest marks the last days I had seen or heard from two very good friends of mine. It seems that this year is slightly different... where mayfest 2011 was more of a realization that I am, again, losing a friend but it is a slower and more painful process... So rather than spending the day drunk and hanging with my friends and eating bbq... i was wondering what is wrong with me. =\

don't misunderstand... no one has been physically hurt or anything. it's just losing a friendship rather than the physical person. the person still exists but my life and theirs no longer intersects.

I really need to learn how to get over these types of situations with more ease. 

.... and on a happier note I took some photos on a lovely day in syracuse. sometimes we get really lovely weather so i took some shots of my favorite buildings at Syracuse University. Hopefully I can take some shots of ESF on a nice day as well :)

I took a lot of shots of this building... it is the crouse audtitorium where various SU preformances take place. i've been there to see various orchestral pieces preformed by music students and the acoustics in the auditorium are really great!



I have learned a few things in my plants class... such as my favorite tree, the magnolia, is actually one of the most ancient angiosperms!

surprisingly enough this building was designed for astronomy studies but the Syracuse University's staff cartographer works here and creates maps for grad students, faculty, and various campus maps and such. i'd love to meet him but on the few days i've tried to wander in the door was locked :(



and i took a few shots of the quad. lol. i should take some pictures of SUNY ESF soon :D
