Student Life - Old Photos

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

Here I am, 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 into the camera.

This is a classmate. 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.

Critters around the neighborhood:

A close-up of a tabby cat with squinting eyes and long whiskers. Behind it, heads of cabbage are visible, and through the window, a blurred view of a street market and a multi-story building.

A red-and-white cat lying on dry last year's grass by a concrete wall on a sunny day. 

A close-up of a dog's profile with a brown snout, black fur on its neck and chest, and an amber eye, looking to the left against a light wall and cobblestones.

Epic mud where my parents live.

A blurred 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 Jena:

A shaggy gray-and-white dog standing 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 doctorate and takes up just a dozen rooms on the ground floor of a residential building.

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

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

A fluffy black cat with white whiskers and paws sitting on a tree branch against a residential building, looking into the camera with glowing green eyes.

Mom takes a very thorough approach to preparing for exams.

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