crazy college students!
Everyone wanted to see the river so after BANG! we headed for the Lawn. "So what is the river? There can't possibly be a river in the middle of Mr. Jefferson's Academical Village, right?" you ask. well, kid, the river is an illusion. if you lie down on the top of the Rotunda steps and look at the length of the Lawn upside down, as demonstrated by the insane fourth years on the picture above, you will perceive the clear night sky as a river. it is totally awesome.
After that we decided to hang out for a while and by doing that we've discouraged at least three groups of eager college students from fulfilling one of UVa's longest standing traditions: Streaking the Lawn. Probably because there were twelve of us just sitting by the steps, ie. the starting point of the streaking route. But i really think it was because we were yelling, "DO IT!!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!" and "We're not going to look!" We tried to hide but they didn't return. oh well, i guess we weren't meant to see "some" that night.
