On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have a walk from Kilbourne Hall to the Nichols Engineering Building. I would have had Military Science and I am going to Materials. I first start this journey by leaving Kilbourne Hall and go under the road in a tunnel. This part always interests me because you do not get to walk in tunnels too often. After the tunnel I ascend a ton of stairs. After Military Science, I always feel really motivated, so I usually run up these stairs. To me, I feel like I have at least improved my physical fitness just a notch, but it is still something, something I can do to help me get into the Army. After these stairs, I take the Ratline around the curve in front of Crozet. As I go by Crozet, I always wonder what is going to be for lunch, I usually hope for the roast beef, because it actually tastes good. As I come to the part of the Ratline where we march down for BRC and SRC, I can see Barracks. When I see Barracks I only imagine what sorts of Hell are occurring or will occur. I try to stay out of Barracks as much as possible; my real home is in Nichols. When I see it after passing Barracks and walking by Parade Avenue, I only can smile as I know I am about to go up stairs to the common area for Rats and be able to relax, even if it is only for a minute before Materials, which is four floors down. The last part of my journey comes as I walk the stairs up to the common area, take a breather, and then run down the stairs again to my classroom. The journey I take really reflects my thoughts about VMI, I hate the Ratline in Barracks, I love ME in Nichols, and Crozet terrifies me.
