View From the Veranda

 This is the view out my window while I stay at the campus for a few nights. The wind beat relentlessly on the roof and walls of the dorm building through the whole last night. It was comforting in a strange way, like the noise of a thunderstorm. View From the Veranda is the name of an article we were to read on the plane. It basically told us to dive into the culture and not hide in our own little bubbles. And that is exactly what I plan to do!
