Grace Parking Lot: the commuters best friend

There are approximately 200 parking spots, 400 little yellow lines, and a few random handicap parking spots. This helps start the vision of the Grace Parking Lot on campus. This sea of black top cement allows commuter students to park for class in a central location. The rectangular lot forms into a slight half circle right by the church. The cars fill up the lot from early morning to afternoon. The early risers get up close and personal spots lining the science center, and the lully-gaggers slowly drive up to accept the last spots in the back lining the street and the church.

On this blistering hot and humid day, where sweat is literally beading down my forehead, I stand here and watch cars go in and out of the lot. Some cars are parked eagerly, straight and sturdy, and some are slightly angled as if to say for their driver, we are late! This overfilled ocean of cars soon leaves campus, and the lot becomes a desolate sea of emptiness once again.
