Marillac experience

I'm trying out this whole "go to a place and write your experiences" thing. I chose Marillac because it is pouring outside and I thought it would be pointless to go from work (at the UC), back to the Resident Village, and back up to St. John's Hall. No way, that was not working for me considering my new umbrella is a piece of crap and already broke. Anyway, I'm sure you have all been to the Marillac food court and knows what goes on. To be honest, it isn't all that interesting. People are here. People are eating. People are talking. That's pretty much the breakdown of what I am seeing. If only I was closer to people and I could overhear their convos. Now that would make for an interesting blog.

Okay, okay, I'll put in a little more effort. I like Marillac because it isn't like Montgoris. No, I am no referring to food, but to the atmosphere. Montgoris is a place where students go (well a majority of students) and eat. You never usually see students go in and stay for more than an hour. They don't really have a reason to. What I am saying is that Montgoris is not the best hang out place. Marillac, on the other hand, is a much better play to sit and chill. Take me for example. I didn't want to travel back and forth from building to building so I stopped here to hang out. When I came in, I saw groups of students just hanging out at table and only 2 out of the 5 were eating. It's pretty cool that if students want to take a break, and maybe even have a snack, they can come here. It's also a great place to come if someone wants to eat alone. Last week none of friends wanted to go to lunch, so I came here and ate. For some strange reason, I felt more comfortable eating alone here than I would at Montgoris. On that note, I am off to grab a cup of tea :)
