And now they're going to tear it down, and that makes me sad, no matter how big and shiny the building they replace it with may be. I didn't know its fate, last October, or I would have made more of a point of having a last look (as it is, I can't remember if we did more than wait for a bus outside). Campus has changed a lot since my day. I say that like it's more than twelve years gone, but since then they've torn down a dorm I stayed in, built a towering building on top of a plaza where I used to shop, remodeled my old library past recognition, gotten rid of the Bucky Badger clock, changed in a hundred other subtle ways. It's good; I'm glad they're still active and vital and all that. But it's strange to think that the university I remember no longer quite exists.
