Student Life - Old Photos

I'm sitting here deleting unnecessary photos, decided to post some interesting stuff while I'm at it.

Here's me, circa March 2005, sitting in the RTU cafeteria on Meža Street (or something like that).

A young man in glasses and a dark blue jacket sits at a table in a cafe with zebra-striped walls and looks at the camera.

This is a coursemate. I won't name names, just in case.

A young woman with short reddish hair and piercing blue eyes looks straight into the camera. She sits at a table in a black top with faux leather elements against the background of a room with black and white checkered walls.

Neighborhood critters:

Close-up of a tabby cat with squinting eyes and long whiskers. Behind it, heads of cabbage are visible, and through the window — a blurry image of a street market and a multi-story building.

A ginger and white cat lies on dry last year's grass by a concrete wall on a sunny day. 

Close-up profile of a dog with a brown muzzle, black fur on its neck and chest, and an amber eye, looking to the left against the background of a light wall and paving stones.

Total mudbath where my parents live.

A muddy dirt road in a village in early spring with deep ruts, puddles, and melting snow on the shoulders. Along the sides of the road are village houses, fences, and bare trees, and logs are stacked on the left.

My long-deceased dog Jenna:

A shaggy gray and white dog stands on a dirt path with sparse grass, its mouth slightly open.

They're tearing down the clinic to build an Iki supermarket. We did end up getting a clinic eventually, but it's called a doctor's office and takes up just a dozen rooms on the ground floor of an apartment building.

A building demolition scene: in the foreground is a ruined brick wall with tumbling bricks, workers on the upper level, and tall concrete columns. On the right, a fragment of an orange crane jib is visible against a cloudy sky.

Vertical pupils also happen in humans, by the way, though rarely. I haven't met any.

A fluffy black cat with white whiskers and paws sits on a tree branch against the background of a residential building and looks into the camera with glowing green eyes.

Mom takes a very thorough approach to exam prep.

A white table in front of a window is cluttered with many long strips of paper with printed text. On the windowsill stand vases with flowers, decorative candles, and figurines, and behind them a dark window is visible.
