just visiting

The engineering faculty is grey and quiet, the kind of heavy silence weighed down by brains moving, eyes running past lines of code and numbers. A kind of mechanical functionality pervades the place, people dress functional and talk in abbreviations, (if they talk at all). The most striking thing was the silence though. In artsfac there is this general buzz that you eventually get used to and block out as white noise but enginefac just has this hush. Sacred silence of science scholarship.

I wandered around aimlessly for a bit, just to attempt to spot semblance of life in the place and found it in the canteen that was swamped with people at 5 plus pm. I guess food does have a way of getting people enthusiastic.
