No More Tickets!!!!

Old Dominion University has built a new recreational facility for its student body and falcuty. It is state of the art in design as well as the different activities it encompasses. Everything is as what was promised and expected from the new facility but there is one major problem. Where do you park your car at? Theres a lot next to it but if you park there than you will get a $22 dollar ticket. There is plenty of open spots for parking on the street leading to the gym but once again you will get either a warning or a $22 dollar ticket. You could park across the street in front of whitehurst but that only 2 hour parking so you better hope your in and out. Then there is powatan parking lot but i have seen odu parking officials hand out tickets for parking there. So where is it okay to park at? Is it understood that everyone has to walk no matter how far away you live or not? Or is this new gym just a demo because it seems like its no safe way to get there. Lois Simmons an official at the office of parking and public transportation said, "The school is working on building a garage for the facility and for now we just have to bear with them and they will try and cut us some slack." To me something else needs to be done immediately because its already a recesion and we students do not need more bills than we already have.

New Gym, Same Familiar Tune

So ODU opened its new gym two weeks ago and boy was there a big buzz. The first day it opened it was packed! I mean all three basketball courts full, rock climbing wall crowded, racketball courts booked solid and the weight lifting area full of new faces. Now after about two or three weeks have pasted it seems like the buzz went with it. I go everyday to workout and lift and only see the same faces as i did from the webb center facility and the 47th street wharehouse gym. Sure are sum new faces but most are there for the new addidtions made to the facility such as racketball and cycling class. So it seems like nothing much has changed around Old Dominion. Its just another new gym but the same ole tune.

Visual Salience

I chose this picture of my niece because its so much going on in the picture. First her jacket catches your eye to begin with because of all the stripes and bright colors. Then you notice she either screaming, yelling, or maybe thats how she smiles. Also there is a glare in her glasses that gives the picture a shine. Your not really sure wat is going on in the picture but you cant stop looking. my personal opinion is because shes so cute.
