New Perspective (Open)

Since classes were over for today, and he felt no where near as tired as some of the previous days, Euan had decided to walk around the campus, eventually finding himself at a lake. As he hadn't bothered to take his bag back to the dorm, he has his pencils and a pad of paper, so ended up sketching random parts of the scenery. It was quiet, but Euan doubted that people could leave this place alone all the time, or perhaps they were really just that obsessed with their phones these days, seeing as everyone seemed to be glued to them in class. He hoped that wasn't the case, it would be a shame if people were too obsessed with technology to see things that were right in front of them. On impulse, Euan went to one of the willow trees near the water, and climbed up it, finding a comfortable place after several attempts. After getting this new perspective, Euan just went back to sketching things around. It passed the time, if nothing else.

After her classes Norah had gone to her dorm, thrown her bag on the floor, and tossed herself onto her bed, and signed. She needed to catch up on the book she had read on the plane, because she hadn't had time to read since she came to school. She noticed the day wasn't cold. She then made herself tea, put it in a container, grabbed her book, and headed out. She figured going to read near the lake would be a great time to spend her time after class. And she knew the lake would look beautiful in this time of the day.

She located a bench quite near to the lake, next to a willow tree. She sat down on the ground, crossed legged, with her back resting on the beach, and set her container of tea on the floor. She observed the lake for a while, signed, and opened her book where she had been previously reading.
