Crafton Hills College
Original Library Building

A new semester..................

has started and my brain and body are in culture shock!!  This semester I am taking JavaScript, which is the alternative requirement replacing the class I dropped last winter (I still shudder just thinking about that one.) and is a programming language that I have some experience with. 

The construction (or deconstruction) has started on the library building in the top picture.  So sad to see it naked.  It is still intact on the outside, but it is gutted.  Next week I will post a picture of the poor naked former library.  The construction company is using several parking lots as the base/storage for their equipment 24/7.  Parking has always been at a premium anyway and now students are having to park on the one street that runs through the campus and walking to their classes.  In some cases, the walk is about half a mile - all uphill.  The campus sits on top of a hill about halfway between Redlands and Yucaipa. Besides the  Crafton Hill Road, there is only the main, high-speed street that goes over the hills to Yucaipa.  Fortunately, I have an excellent, and very willing, chauffer who takes me to school, does errands, then picks me up afterward.  He is truly a husband beyond compare!!!!
