Today was a sad day. Today was the day I had to leave Colorado after my 2.5 week vacation. (I know, I know. My job rules. 2.5 weeks of vacation!? You better believe it.)
Today was a happy day. Today was the day I got to return to Alabama and return to my wonderful Alabama friends.
Today was a day of learning. Today was a day of learning that things change. Things such as your college’s whole look & advertising scheme??
As I was walking through DIA, I was literally stopped in my tracks. By this.
Now, I know you can’t really see it, but let me tell you what it says.
“Understanding the earth. Harnessing energy. Sustaining the environment.
Colorado School of Mines
Engineering the way.”
Right. I was completely unaware during my 4.5 years in Golden, Colorado, that we were so… Green. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am 100% for saving the whales, rainforest, tatas, last dance, etc. But really? Is CSM steering towards becoming a university dedicated solely to sustainability? Did they forget that about ½ of their donations come from ginormo oil companies and graduates from the petroleum department?? Or that we’re called the Colorado School of Mines? Hmmm… Good thing I went there in order to someday become a roller coaster engineer.
And the weirdest part about this picture? We evidently have a new school logo. Um. What? Are they even allowed to do that? I guess I’m just a bit partial to our old one.
I wonder what all those dead ol’ gold miners would think about CSM’s new “change.” I’m not necessarily against what they’re doing. I guess I was just thrown a bit off guard when I was assaulted by this giant, screaming, illuminated sign in the Denver Airport.
