The sun rises over the Methodist church across Nebraska Avenue to the East, over the Quad, and into the eyes of all the unlucky dorm-dwellers whose picture-windowed rooms catch the morning light. It might be dawning a cold winter day with the wind whining through the windows, prompting thoughts of skipping that 8:30 class. Or it could be the start of another summer sizzler in Washington; air pollution and humidity and the thoughts of packing up and finally heading home for the summer; maybe for the last time. . . . the work, the classes the wild times . . . As the years go by, those days and all the more temperate ones in between are regulated by the processes of college life. At American, time isn ' t measured by months or seasons, but rather by the demanding schedule of classes, exams, and semesters. Each day that passes is filled with all the events of that college chronometry: pulling an all-nighter around exam time in the dead of December, or relaxing on the Quad on a bright afternoon in May, laughing at tests gone by and saying goodbyes. Every semester is a new schedule, and just when it seems you ' ve figured out where you ' re supposed to be at what time, your MIRF comes in the mail to remind you that in another month you ' ll have to do it all over again. And sometimes it IS a lot of work. That course that looked like a sure gut in November turned out to have a twenty-page paper hidden in it, and all your mid-terms are on the same day, and God only knows when you ' ll get a chance to go to the grocery store . . . But that ' s what it ' s all about. Despite what some cynical students may say about American, the work, the classes, the wild times all add up to an interesting environment that will seldom be duplicated throughout the rest of a work and family-to-support and nine-to-five life. It ' s not to say that American is Utopia; it ' s just that it ' s not Hell either, and unlike both those mythical communities, it ' s up to each student to make the best of it.
