Entry 12

I work for the ticket office at Kyle field, so on Saturday I sat at a ticket window all day staring at the Memorial Student Center. I decided that instead of just staring out a window, I would draw what I was looking at. My shift was over during the first quarter of the football game, and when I went up to my seat, I really looked at Kyle field and how massive it is. My seat was on the very top row of second deck, and my friends and I leaned over the ledge looking at the structure holding up our seats. It is unreal that 3 months ago I would have looked at a bunch of concrete and thought about how boring it is. Now I look at concrete and I think, "Is it precast or sitecast? Is that a type one or two connection? Is that rebar sticking out through the top? Look at that bearing pad that the beam is resting on." My friends and I literally had our backs to the football game and were looking at concrete instead. When we turned around, we decided to leave because the game was boring. I never thought the day would come where I was more interested in concrete than in football.
