The two sides of the same story

Positive

Sit in front of the GC in a sunny day is such a good experience. I feel myself so pleased to be here. Sited here I can experience the sun and the really soft wind typical of Miami in this period of the year. I feel the panther pride when the sun shines on the walls of GC. Hundreds of people get in and out of this building every single minute. The GC is like the center of the university. This is the place where students have classes, they can have their meals, they have beauty saloon, and others. As you can find everything here in GC, here you also will always find someone that you know. Every single student passes through here at least one time a day. Its location is also a spectacular thing because it has a garage right in front of it. It is a tremendous privilege for those who have classes there. Normally the buildings on the campus are a little bit far from the parking. The GC is my favorite building in FIU. It is so great have the opportunity to see the variety of things that a single building can proportionate. If I could I would sit here every day for a couple of hours. This place is wonderful. It is the main heart of the university. Here is the place where you can see the different people that attend FIU. You can see the abilities and disabilities of these people. Here you can see life!


Negative

Sit in front of GC in a sunny day is such a terrible experience. The hot weather of Miami makes you sweat in seconds. The wind is so soft that you can not notice it. Sometimes I may say that there is no wind at all. There is any pleasure in sit here, not even for five minutes. The garage right in front here annoys me. The sound of the engine of the cars going up and down on the garage looking for a parking doesn’t let me concentrate in anything that I start to do. Study here is an impossible task. Together with this crazy sound there is the bell. It rings every hour to announce that one more hour has passed. Come on. Isn’t the noise of the car enough? The answer seems to be no. More and more things that increase the noise in this place are implemented during the days. The bell doesn’t have a simple ring. It plays some ridiculous music. May I ask for whom? Does the university think that students between seventeen and thirty years old care for this kind of song? People are interested in study, in popular songs, in party, not on this strange sound. Another disgusting thing of being here is that so many people pass through GC every moment that you feel lost in the middle of a crowd. You don’t have privacy here. There is so many people, so many languages, and so many sounds here. Oh my god, I think that I’m going to get crazy if I stay here for one more second.
