the wonders of deecee
Life as a college student is great, I’m enjoying the times with my teachers, my fellow classmates, and meeting new faces everyday is always a perk. I, however, somehow never have time to go out and have some non-cafeteria food or buy the latest contemporary novel on the market.
The metro system in DC is amazingly accessible (well, almost) and can get you pretty much everywhere in the area. I remember expecting about thirty minutes to go to George Washington University last month with two transfers, and it ended up taking only ten. Impressive, I guess. Well, enough about the metro system.
Around this time last week, when I told people that I haven’t been to Dupont Circle, a trendy area in the northwest quadrant of Washington, DC, I got looks of shock. Some were actually taken aback and pity me for not going out into the city enough. I couldn’t say anything else than the fact that I never got the opportunity to go to Dupont Circle. However, I apparently missed plenty of opportunities, because Gallaudet students love to go to Dupont Circle to walk around, eat out, and shop, not to mention it’s right on the red line, which is the same line as the Gallaudet metro station.
Fear no more, for I finally went to Dupont Circle last weekend with two of my fellow freshmen and bookworms, Rachel and Josh. We were headed to Kramerbooks, a well known book store just north of the circle. We met up with another friend of ours, Calvin, and we immediately spread out around the store. I don’t know about you, but I love bookstores. I love the smell of new and used books, the sight of books with colorful spines stacked up the ceiling, and the quiet serene feel it comes with a bookstore. Simply put, I love books and bookstores.
Well, hope I kept y’all appeased with this entry. I’m off now to water polo practice for this Saturday’s game against RIT.
Until then,
con amistad, tyler
