campus. I’m not that athletic … but I try to enjoy the scenery every chance I get.I’m sure you’ve heard that our Student Union is being expanded, right? Well, before that started, UW-Parkside’s shuttle bus would drive around Inner Loop Road, bringing students to their desired locations. Now that the construction has partially closed Inner Loop, the shuttle, (sometimes referred to as the Pickle Bus because it used to be ALL Ranger Green), makes its course around Outer Loop Road. I love parking in Tallent and riding in a window seat of the shuttle, just so I can really enjoy the UW-Parkside view.
Though the woods are great, they can be rather distracting to drivers. I’m from Kenosha County, (Wilmot, what’s up?), so the occasional deer is no thing. Except, the deer here are pretty brave. If you’re leaving late at night, you might get the rare opportunity to stop you car dead in the road and watch a deer feeding in the parking lot for a good ten minutes!
But you have to stop! So many people at UW-P will go to and from their classes, barely stepping a foot outdoors. Now, I can understand when it’s winter, but during the fall is the best time to do it! The leaves are all turning, the deer and the chipmunks are rushing around in a search for those last meals before it frosts. The infamous UW-Parkside geese are here, making their last preparations for the long flight to Florida.I try to walk outside every chance I get. Its almost November, can you believe it? Soon, there will be snow days and folks sledding and throwing snowballs by Ranger Hall, but not yet. There is still time to stop and take a minute to appreciate the world around us. At least before it gets too cold to enjoy anything!
