Just finished a short bike ride around campus. I was hoping to meet up with a student at his frat house but didn’t catch him in.
What I did see, however, was campus life beginning to flicker back on after the summer breaker switch was flipped.
As I pedaled past a couple of students enjoying an evening smoke, one guy held out his hand and yelled “High five me, man!” As I slapped his hand he yelled to everyone on McMillan…”You da’ man!!” He had obviously started drinking a little early tonight.
I stumbled across an intense game of cricket down by Sigma Commons. After a few minutes observing, I realized I need to do some research on the game…learn a bit of Hindi and/or Arabic and maybe I can join in next time.
As I road back through Burnette Woods park I contemplated crashing a little Ultimate Frisbee action…but they had an even 5-on-5 so I didn’t stop.
And now I’m back in front of the Edge House…looking forward to the next______. Maybe the next bike ride…the next conversation…the next latte…the next bible study…the next forum on faith and culture…the next cookout…who knows?! But it’s a pretty exciting place to be.
One of my favorite spaces in the Edge House is definitely a room we’re calling the “Cloister.” It’s an upstairs study center where we will be housing a book collection and space for conversations regarding faith and the lack thereof.
If you’re a student at the University of Cincinnati… please stop by anytime (3007 clifton ave) especially during Welcome Week.
We’d love to meet you and share a little life at the Edge House.
