Earlier today, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting in Sparks. It was in a Denny's restaurant that was hidden by these large, power plant-ish buildings. Heading there in the daytime was nothing special- it was simply a journey towards a predetermined destination. I stared out the window of the car like I usually do to help alleviate my motion sickness and took note of the bustling casino that we got lost in and the birds flying overhead.
Fast forward two hours later and the scenery was incredibly different; suddenly, my vision was restricted to only what the headlights of our car and the light posts revealed. No longer did the world seem opening and welcoming, waiting to be explored- but rather, unfriendly and intimidating. The world outside had become a hostile place for the lone person.
Inside the walls of the Nevada LLC however, things were changing. Students, out all day attending classes or meeting up with friends, were now congregating inside their dorms once more and socializing with one another. Of course, I had fallen asleep around 9 or so and had gotten up at 11, and ventured outside of my suite onto a floor that was mostly deserted, save for a few night owls studying in the study lounge. Normally, I'm not in the study lounge past midnight, so having now just spent the past two hours there was an enlightening experience, as I was able to reconnect with people I hadn't either met before or hadn't been able to meet up with throughout the day.
