The jacaranda timekeeper

As I was walking through the Quad the other day, I stopped to admire our famous jacaranda tree. The purple blossoms created a nice contrast against the brown bricks and the green grass.


I then felt a creative spell, so I sat down in one of the arches and began to write.


An air of serenity hung in the air of this ancient building, and I felt such contentment to just sit there and let my mind wander.

There's an old myth that if you haven't yet began to study before the jacaranda's first bloom, you're going to fail. My Torts lecturer once commented that, due to global warming, the first bloom has occurred earlier and earlier each year.

I sure hope he's right.
