Sitting in front of Burrus Hall, temperature around 60 degrees; it’s a windy night with dark blue sky.
Today I’ve chosen to look at the drill field at a different time, perhaps a time were less is going on. As I sit and look across I see just a few students coming back and forward. The drill field is so different at night; it’s peaceful and it was a sense of serenity. It is so easy to hear laughter and random conversations, even from the people who are yards away from where I am. The echoes of their voices seem lauder at night when the drill field is resting.
On the center of the field there are 3 tents set up; I wonder what’s in store for the drill field tomorrow. The pathways that go across the field are all lit up, not only by the lights but also by the moon and the stars. Even though it’s late at night, there are still people playing with Frisbees and footballs.
Before coming to observe the Drill field today, I expected it to be more deserted; however, I’ve realized that our drill field never sleeps. The Drill Field is always there to serve us as a place where we can relax, a place where everyone can enjoy the fresh air, a place where we can come together with friends, but most importantly, a place where we can promote the unity of the hokie spirit.
