FUNAAB || Back To School Walk

It's a new semester in school and my last here as I am in my finals. I should have been finished with the university for over a year now, but my country's commitment to education is simply questionable. So, I am spending seven years for what I should be spending five years for. Engineering is a 5-year course, and medicine is a 7-year course. So at this point, you might as well just call me a medical engineering student.

The semester is to resume fully next week, and I am already back around campus. And after spending about 9 months out of school, I felt the need to take a walk on campus to breathe in the whole school aura. I was hoping that would help kickstart the school vibes again. So yesterday, I invited a friend (that's also in the same school) for the walk, so it wouldn't turn into a walk of soliloquy.

We first met at my place (outside campus), and then from there, we left for campus. We were expecting to wait for a while to get a cab into school, as cab drivers are yet to fully get back in business, but we were lucky to get one soon enough. Even better, it was a free ride and not an actual cab.

Our first stop was the new extension made to the school's Senate building. The school had been building it for a while now, and they are now finishing up. It looked really beautiful, and we just could not ignore it.

Next stop was the College of Plant Sciences. Actually, it was not our intention to stop here as there was nothing particularly interesting here, but we saw some flowers on the way and so we stopped to take photos of them.

There were some greenhouses along the way. They have not been well taken care of, so they just looked so ugly. Nonetheless, we took some photos of them, and with them. Just, you know, for the record that we passed by them.

Our school has a lot of space, even between buildings. But the school has been making a lot of building constructions, and so we were finding new buildings in places that used to have really cool lawns.

It is actually so nice to see new buildings around. It kind of means that we would have some more lecture rooms and there would be less hassle in getting conducive ones to hold lectures in. But at the same time, it felt strange to know that the school I have always known for years is beginning to look quite different from how it is in my memories.

Next, we stopped at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Here, we did nothing but just take photos of the odd-colored monument of a snake on a pole—their symbol, sort of. We made fun of how ugly the color looked to us, as it was in terrible contrast with the colors of the buildings around. What do you think?

While we were talking about something that I cannot remember at the moment (I am sure it was super important), we kept walking down the road, taking photos of buildings that I (I'm not sure about my friend) may never get to explore. I will be out of the university in a few months.

It was getting pretty dark, so we took some more photos again, hoping to catch the warm and beautiful light of the sunset.

At this point, we were close to the campus residential area. There are hostels on the campus, and just a minority of the students of the school live there. I actually stayed there for my first two years, and then I moved out because I needed my own space.

There are so many buildings at my school that if I took a shot of each one, we may be scrolling indefinitely—that is, assuming I can even get to them all in the first place.

It was good to be back in school after an eight-month absence. I went to areas I didn't have time to visit before because the classes I'm doing now don't need me to travel as often as we used to.

We only walked about half of the way around the school. It's fairly large, and even if we wanted to work on it, we didn't have much sunlight. It quickly became dark.

I am now looking forward to the lectures and the whole school experience one last time…
