Arrival

When I arrived at Yale on friday, I thought these 3 weeks will be super caotic and coming here was a big mistake:

  • I missed my stop and had to wait another 20 min in order to get of my train. When I finaly got of, I had no Wifi or phone service so I could not download Uber or look for a bus ride to Yale. I somehow managed to get to Yale though.

  • When I arrived, my room was super hot, the lamp did not work, and there were several pieces of furiture stored in my room that blocked everything. I also had no towel, blanket or bedsheet.
After I rearranged my whole room it did not look so bad after all. I also met some really nice girls (my floormates) in the bathroom that night. 


Someone made this poster for me

Sterling Library and the Collegiat Gothic Style

 The Collegiate Gothic Revival style is an early 20th century adaptation of the 19th century Gothic Revival style to serve a specific function, educational buildings. The Gothic Revival style, which flourished from the period of 1830 through 1890 in the United States, was often chosen for churches and institutional buildings due to its impressive, medievally-inspired form. In the early 20th century the Gothic Revival style reappeared for an appropriate choice for both university and secondary school buildings. Prominent universities such as Boston College, Yale, Duke, and Princeton employed the Collegiate Gothic Revival style in this period to create an atmosphere of respected antiquity. In the Sterling Library, the Collegiate Gothic Style can be found. Everything contributes to the asthetic of antiquity of old colleges. Although, the Sterling library looks incredibly old, it was built only 90 years ago.
