Looking straight up at the ceiling at Washington National Airport (DCA). The exposed and yellow-painted girders and high ceilings make for quite a site. The thumbnail at right gives more perspective on the whole thing. L. flew out from here the other day for Thanksgiving, so I just went along to see her off and snap pictures. Someday I will not be a student and will be able to take vacations like other people. Someday. Of course, there's tradeoffs. I may have to “work” through Thanksgiving (paper due next Monday), but then I get almost a month off between semesters. That will be hard to give up when I'm no longer a student.
