Day 7 - Nature

Nature is a beauty we can never escape. Even here at Carthage College, this is apparent. These two pictures represent the scenic beauty that makes Carthage College the place it is. Who doesn't enjoy a view of the lake? The final picture is of a beautiful Wisconsin sunset. For me, this beautiful image represents the coming of Spring and better weather. At the same time, its just a simple image in a world of pictures.

Day 6 - Entertainment

In college, entertainment sometimes has to be cheap and easy. TV is a good form of cheap and trashy entertainment. The first picture is unfortunately not of my TV, but of the Oaks lounge TV. Talking on the cell phone is not a cheap form of entertainment, but is still common. What about taking pictures? As you can see, I decided to take a picture of myself in the mirror. What can I say, I was bored.

Day 5 - Room

Here are a few pictures of my room. As said before, a students room is an important place. In a way, its our own little world of escape. We sleep here, as picture one clearly presents. The second picture is of the ceiling, something we stare at each night before going to bed. Since I like to read, I included a picture of some books. You can also see a picture within a picture. This picture was taken in Chicago and includes family and friends, something very important to me.

Day 6 - Architecture

I have always been interested in architecture. This picture of the Holy Rosary Church in Kenosha represents this interest. I have often passed this church before and have always been
fascinated by its Baroque architecture.

Day 5 - Transportation

Everyone needs a form of transportation. Some people have Audi's and Porsche's while the rest of us have old, rusty things. Still, my car usually gets me from point a to point b. One can't have a car without a set of keys. My set of keys can be seen hanging from the door. Can't loose those! Since I don't want to embarrass myself, pictures of my license plate and tire can also be seen here. Transportation is transportation!

Day 4 - Food

Eating in college can sometimes be a challenge. A typical college student might live off of bread, water, and Ramen noodles. Coming from a very European family, bread is a staple of the my college diet. For me, it has to be a good European bread, none of that wonder bread junk. Then there is popcorn, a good late night snack. To wash it all down, a good bottle of water.

Day 4 - Cathage does Care

These are also two things I see everyday. The first picture is a fire alarm that is often set off
by daring students. Like the exit sign, it is also red. Strange coincidence? The second picture is from the elevator and is only to be used in emergency situations. To be honest, I have accidentally used the push for help button before. When reaching for the fifth floor button, my backpack hit the call for help button. I then have to tell security that it was just an accident. I have done this at least two times this year. I think the yellow outline of the button is interesting.
Why is it not red? I think yellow is a mellow, soothing color that represents safety and care. Perhaps this explains why the outline color is yellow.
