But I too had a lot of sentimental attachment to the Heorot. I have vague 1970's memories of the place, too, tagging along with my mother and aunts. (Though, oddly or not, I remember the big pedestrian ramps in the Union much better. Those must have been quite new at the time.) And it's such a landmark in this town; it sort of meant something to have it as my unofficial headquarters, if only briefly.Matt Desmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049817294442385108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-850460519986732757.post-43266116815595874382009-02-09T19:59:00.000-05:002009-02-09T19:59:00.000-05:00"I'm supposed to sit in on a fiction-writing class..."I'm supposed to sit in on a fiction-writing class as an Elder Statesman, which will be fun unless someone lets on to the kids just how little fiction I've written"<BR/><BR/>I know this feeling--if its anything similar to what I feel everyday when I stand in front of the classroom that I, as a result of egregious error on the part of the administration, have been put in charge of. Four semesters strong as a complete. fraud. <BR/><BR/>I've been having trouble trying not to be nostalgic about the place I haven't even left yet, a sentiment that has been complicated by our removal from safety in the campus Heorot and placement in the newfangled "ferrari of buildings." And yet, its nice to return. So nice, in fact, that I have been attending classes here for ten years, and I sat in on them with various siblings and parents (we never had babysitters) for fifteen.I got an "A" in Crazy Beeyotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181117357928076971noreply@blogger.com
