POV: You’re entering my newly decorated room in Bates Tower of Scott-Bates Commons on second-year move-in day. Even if our original plans got rained out, I still was able to use the sign I decorated for my first-year mentees. A before-the-storm photograph of an 18+ “foam rave” at the Power Plant in Inner Harbor (foam cannon seen on the left).Packed house at Bird in Hand for one of my poetry professor’s book launch and reading.Three of my friends and I on fall break, during which we traveled to Northern Virginia and visited Cox Farm. The library inside Harford Heights Elementary, which became my first classroom as a student teacher with Writers in Baltimore Schools.The trail along San Martin Drive, my favorite and frequent night walk during which I call my parents. Everyone loves “Hop Fox,” but I prefer “Hop Raccoon.”During our Big Snow, two friends and I explored outside, and they made face prints in the snow; meanwhile, I staged this incriminating picture. View from the top of a slope leading to Wyman Park Dell, which some friends and I sled down many times using scraps of Amazon boxes.
