1. Ellingson Hall Room 106: This is my house, I am a JC in Ell and so spend a good deal of my time in my room so I can be available for my residents. I do homework in my room often I work a lot better there as long as the homework I am doing does not require a table to spread my stuff on.
2. The Windmill (as a focal point) My gaze is consistently drawn to the windmill, whether I am walking somewhere, sitting in class, or eating a meal in Stav. The windmill does tower over everything and it is also dynamic most of the time drawing my attention away from a smaller stationary building. I also appreciate the meaning of the windmill as a landmark of home and as a testament to sustainability.
3. The Windmill and Natural Lands: I spend a good deal of my time walking and running around this area. I cannot stand running indoors so the natural lands is my place of choice to go for a run. I also walk around the land quite a bit. It is a wonderful place to get lost, think, and de-stress for a while.
4. The Library: I do some studying in my room but also spend a fair amount of time studying in the library as it is conducive to diligent work and lots of room to spread out and study.
5. Gazing at Holland Hall and the surrounding northward view from Regents 3rd floor: I am a biology major and have had labs on the 3rd floor of Regents every year. When I am bored in lab my eyes tend to drift towards this view of looking North, with Holland, conifers, and the power plant all in view. I appreciate the aesthetic value of Holland as this fantastic ideal combining a longing to live in many novels and movies and the sheer grandeur of this castle like building. The towering conifers and the way the hill start to drop of reminds me of living in the mountains which adds to the power of the scene. This view combines my reverential gaze of the buildings and magisterial gaze of looking over the land and feeling as if I am on a mountain.
