The blue sky fit perfectly in Raisel's viewfinder. The old school Leica model camera he used felt familiar in his hands. Even though it used traditional film, a totally obsolete thing by now, he felt pride in the camera that he bought with his own money. Lying on his back on one of the benches set in the grassy area outside of the cafeteria. He planned to grab a bagel later, but the rising sun left streaks of rosy color against the deep blue above it. Snapping a series of pictures over the minutes it took for the sun to rise and the sky to turn a lighter shade of blue, he ignored the rest of the world. This wonderful thing above him entranced his heart so much. It was a pity that he couldn't stand to get nearer to it.

When he finally put his camera back in its soft carry case, he noticed the morning bustle happening around him. Students moved all around the center of campus, many going to the cafeteria while others went straight to their early morning classes. He only had an art history in the morning then a long photography lab later, so he still felt no rush to get moving. Tomorrow would be different considering the very early section of the bland freshman orientation class all were required to take. He didn't mind the time so much as the class itself. Why would he get up for that?

Sighing, he pushed himself away from the bench and grabbed a bagel before heading to the main classroom building also set in the middle of campus. Although he stopped to talk with a few people on the way, he moved quickly, more interested than anything at seeing what the class' syllabus would be. Study? Eh, but if there was a project, he wanted to think about it from the start. Not noticing Ian as they crossed paths, he found the right room and settled down, waiting for the long day to pass.
