UC Davis revisited

On our way back from Tahoe, we stopped by my alma mater, UC Davis. It was nice to see the campus again, although I could barely recognize it! There were so many new buildings - the whole campus seems so unfamiliar to me. SQ kept on asking me what is this building, what is that building? And I had to say, "I don't know!" We passed by this new modern building, and it was labeled as ARC (Activities & Recreation Center). This is the new Rec Hall, although the old one was still there. I was so impressed with this building - although we didn't get to go in, I saw a lot fancy exercise equipments through the windows. Mann, I would love to be a UC Davis student NOW. There are so many cool things! Right along the same area, there was also a brand-new DC (Dining Commons) for the Segundo dorms.

And of course, the new Mondavi Performing Arts Theater is another new building on campus. Isn't it so fancy? Love it! The surrounding area was also nicely landscaped with beautiful sitting area and flowers. Mann, I really would love to be a UCD student NOW!! The campus really transformed - for the better of course. I hope the university will continue to prosper and improve so it can one day be recognized as one of the best in the nation.

By the way, every so often when the breeze blew towards me, I could still smell the cows. Yep, what's better than the smell of steer manure during a hot summer day ?? And how can I possibly reminsce about Davis without the cows?! I guess some *good* things will never change...
