A Good Education

Northwestern University

The long anticipated trip has finally arrived. I have been looking forward to this one for quite awhile.

I arrived in Chicago two weeks after Phil who had already been here getting smarter by the day while attending a class in Advanced Executive Program. I can't say that I have ever been to Northwestern and was looking forward to exploring during the day while he was busy in class.



To say this campus is beautiful would be an understatement. Built in 1853 on 357 acres there is plenty of open space between buildings all gorgeously landscaped.

I can't forget to mention that I arrived just in time to catch the tail end of fall. I mean seriously, I could walk this campus all day.

The beauty and the cold temps (we've been around the mid 40's) beckon me to come out and play.




Of course like any good student, I've also learned a thing or two while visiting this University.

LIKE:

On this site in 1897 Nothing Happened.

It's good to have a sense of humor!

Be Thrifty!
We shouldn't waste money on bulletin boards when we have plenty of sidewalks.

and:

A good education is NOT just for the birds.

4:15 pm and dusk is upon us.

Lastly, a reminder of what daylight savings is.

It's dark as night by 5 pm!





All in all, I'd say I have gotten a good education while visiting this University. And a reminder to appreciate the beauty around me.
