Something New Every Day

They say you learn something new every day. So far in my life I have found this statement to be quite accurate. In addition to learning new things all the time, in Grenada, I seem to discover or see new things frequently.

Today's discover was how to get on the 2nd floor of our school library and how to get into the arch between the library and computer/IT building.

The library is on the right of the arch and IT, the computer lab, and offices are on the left. I have wondered for a long time where the staircase is to take you to the second and third floors of the library. When you enter the left side of the building, you immediately see a staircase that takes you up. I have been to the second floor of this building several times to go to the computer lab for class. Before you enter the lab area, there is a set of glass doors leading to the archway, but they are locked and do not permit access to the library. I have also been into the library a few times and have always wondered where the staircase was hiding! To enter the library, there are two sets of double doors. You have to go through the left set to enter, and there is a glass wall that separates the area between the double doors. As soon as you go through the doors into the library, you are in the library. I have never really paid much attention to entering the library before.

Today, my friend and I discovered that the 1st set of doors led to the staircase! If you aren't looking specifically in that spot for it, it's easy to miss. The tricky thing is that the 1st set of doors is locked. In order to get to the staircase, you have to enter the library, and make a U-turn back into the other area to go up the stairs. Once we got to the second floor, the entrance to the archway was apparent and easy to get to. Much to our delight, the space was empty so we sat down to study undisturbed (we left our other spot because we were fed up with the people talking about their ipads next to us-they were loud!).

The only downside to the archway is that it is un-air conditioned (so it's a bit hot and stuffy!). But the views on either side are gorgeous, peaceful and relaxing :).

The other thing I saw today on my way to the Small Animal Clinic was a pair of cows just randomly grazing on the side of the road. Only in Grenada!!
