It is Memorial Day Weekend and campus is deserted. I am the only person in the commons; I like this. I remember when I first started at OSU-Tulsa. I was still taking classes at TCC. I would workout after my 8 am Calculus class and ride my bike the additional mile to OSU, eat my sack lunch and then work on my calculus homework. Back then, like now, I was the only one around the commons during the day. Things have changed much since then, some changes have been good, some have been undesirable. I like to stop in these quiet moments and reflect about the past, the future, and the inevitability of change.
