OK, I know I’ve been crowing about the joys of being retired, but I got offered a job that seemed promising,
and so I’m back teaching at a University. This week we move into our new apartment, which is in a vast, mostly vacant apartment complex called University View Apartments. The Universities they view are all housed in a complex called “Academic City, which is directly across from our building. Just cross twenty acres of sand and there you are. Of course, if I were to stumble and fall, I might be a bundle of bleached bones before anyone discovered me, as I’m the only person who walks to work in this area.
Do you walk to work? How long does it take to walk across 20 acres? You need SANDles.
Holy cow…it looks surreal and futuristic. Does it feel isolated? Well, “no man is an island,” even if it is on an enormous sweeping desert. I love reading your impressions and musings of such a purpose built place. Is English the primary language where you work?
