The further from bed the less comfortable

            One of the many places I walk during the day is to the Joe. By the end of the day the fact that it is uphill from my dorm room in Argenta really starts to get old. I always go across the bridge and then cut by Nye and walk by the gym volleyball plays in on my left then by the Education building on my right then I make my way to the Joe passing by the Knowledge center.

            The differences at night and day are in the vibe. The only similarity that I can think of is the fact that it is still uphill and that pisses me off a little but sometimes. During the day there are so many more people walking by. I always people watch when I go to class during mid day but at night it is completely different.  People are spaced out with stretches where there is nobody. The people that are out travel together. That's smart Reno really isn't the safest place to walk around at night. Got to watch out for people lurking around corners and in bushes. It's amazing how light shapes what we see. The only light that beats down at night dimly glows from street lamps with black in between. Humans don't like the dark. It's unknown. The unknown is scary. I stick to the route most everyone takes which is closest to the street lamps where I can see and the scary thing in the dark can't get me.

            This sets a much creepier vibe than the daytime vibe that I'm used to. It's a little weird. The shadows covering people's faces distance them from you. There are no long boarders flying recklessly through campus and no bikes. Once I cross the bridge back over Virginia the vibe gets better. Being closer to the dorms brings me closer to home. More people are out. Laughter fills the air with groups of people hanging out. A couple bros play football in the grass courtyard between Nye and Canada. I draw this conclusion about night time travel. The further from bed the less comfortable I get.
