I've been able to spend a lot of time in Detroit over the past few days. WSU's campus seems so tiny compared to what I remember. Maybe it's the fact that I've gotten use to walking almost everywhere, or that when I'm in NYC I tend to roam everywhere from Washington Heights to Midtown to Queens in a single day, whereas at Wayne, I stayed to a small area.

Whatever the reason, I enjoyed my new feeling of the WSU turf being quaint and small, a little community of it's own. I enjoyed leisurely walking down the streets, stopping when I felt like it, not in a rush to rehearsal or class. Parked my car by the Hilberry and walked to Eastern Market (which seemed shockingly close). I ate at Sala Thai, which still seems delicious even after practically living on NYC thai.

I noticed details on buildings and appreciated the lush grass on all the University property more than I had before. It was as if I was in the last act of Our Town. I never really saw or appreciated everything around me on the campus until I went away.
