Washington DC - UMD Nostalgia












the university of maryland felt just the same. nothing seemed to have changed physically- the red buildings in the clear fall afternoon, the buses, the school of architecture that lay unusually squat and façade-less in a campus packed with monumental classical porticoes that remind you of colonial homes in the south. but there was no one who i knew in the school. bill was out- and so was matt. springhill lake also looked the same. the apartment where i had first laid my bags- where i had first met shamik, mani, rohit, fau still looked inhabited by students from umd. the beltway plaza was as tacky as ever. that was comforting.
