Disney Delights

Hello one and all! It has been forever since I last blogged and I feel like the time is right to post a new one. I am currently sitting at the Auraria Campus library. Why did I call it that and not the UCD campus? Because the Auraria campus holds about 3 colleges I think? The UCD school, the metro, and a community college. This place is huge and is quite a work out that's for sure.

I got here a little before 1pm and just now finished walking around the Tivoli Center. It houses the student union, and in my opinion is the most important building on campus. It also has the most character and charm. I have only seen 3 of the 5 floors as you have to ride a certain elevator to get to the 4th and 5th floor. There are a few spooky spots in the building. One is the dead basement where no one goes. There was supposed to be a no trespassing sign I think, as I mistakenly walked down there only to sharply turn around and hurry out as it gave me the creeps. There are also a few sections of the building where I was certain I would get lost but thankfully I did not.

There is one room that I am sure to spend much of my time. I don't remember the name of it off the top of my head, maybe a den of some kind, that is a place strictly for quite time. I didn't say quiet study as I saw a few people curled up on some of the couches and chairs clearly passed out. I love the thought of a place that really is quiet and peaceful as I sadly find that most libraries, on campus or not, are no longer the quiet placces they used to be. AKA study groups which doesn't bug me at all.

I know that this is only one of the many buildings located on campus but it is one not devoted to classrooms and is very social, thus making it free and open to explore without many questions. I would like to look around at the other buildings here but feel that I might be asked what I'm looking for when I'm really just browsing. Sure this may be harmless but on the back of the bathroom stall doors there are notices warning against stalking and I don't want to look like one if I can help it.

I did meet a few people and one was kind enough to give me her opinion of local apartments, having lived here all of her life. I found her informatin extremely helpful and hope to talk with her more in the future.

Despite my lack of sleep and the crappy traffic I fought coming up here, I have really enjoyed myself and hope to come back sooner than later. Not only a visitor, but a resident of this fine city.
