Cross-Campus Tour

After Spinning class, in which we did some really tough pilates, Shashi and I walked up the 'other slope of Freshman year' and all the way to the Dairy Bar. There was a really long line wrapped around three sides of the room, but we waited, since it was a hot day, we walked all the way to near the Vet School from North, and it was ice cream. We waited in line composed of many undergrads, grad students, and families, and on the way picked up a potato knish (for me) and a turkey pot pie (for Shashi). Shashi ordered a really delicious and pretty-looking maple syrup sundae. I ordered a new flavor, apparently created by Prabu's friend who is in a food science course. It's called: Sloppy Slope Jolt, and is made of coffee ice cream, nutella, and nuts or brownie pieces. It's on a two week trial at the Dairy Bar to see if it sells. It was good. We walked all around the side of Bartels, where there's another new hole for construction, and then waited around on the Schwartz Wall.

I remember the Wall at Stuy; this anonymous-looking gray wall where all the preppy kids or intellectual potheads sat between classes, on the other side of TriBeca Bridge. I never sat there. I passed by it all the time though. Then they painted it with a whole bunch of flowers or something.

Also, Rima and I went out on a walk since it was a beautiful night. We were walking towards North, but stopped by WSH, where there was a World Music Concert. There was dancing in the Memorial Room, and then the performers went out on the terrace. The Steel Drum Band played some lively tropical music, then a conga line started; I joined in, Rima refused.

We made our way to RPCC, where there was a program put on by the Coalition for Animal Defense. They were serving free vegetarian and vegan food, so of course, we partook in the cause. I really liked this fried scallion bread. Oh, we also stopped by the Bubble Tea place at Appel and watched a few episodes of 'Friends'. They were from the later seasons so I hadn't seen them before, and there was a group of us, just watching and laughing, and drinking our tea.
