kennedy center at the clark building.

i first came into the clark building for my biology 100 lab. but i keep going back for entirely different reasons.  this is the house for the kennedy center of international studies--a place i wish to spend a lot of time.  or rather, not a lot of time. since it is the center for study abroad, field studies, and other foreign adventures.  it is definitely among  the most aware places on campus. 
i study here a lot.  no one really knows about it, so there is always an empty seat.  it is also located in a traffic area for professors, so you get to hear them talk.  there is also a tv on the above wall where the news is always playing. 
i love how it says 'planet earth.' 
field studies, foreign internship, study abroad information. oh my. 
this is the bathroom.  i don't know if it's allowed to take pictures of public restrooms and then post them on the world wide web.  but this little, nearly disgusting, but oh so comfortable and secluded chaise lounge in the bathroom of the clark building is where i have taken many an undisturbed nap. they have those air puffer things so it smells good too. and you have to love the decor--check out the shelf.
one of the greatest on-campus functions of the kennedy center is providing lectures with great speakers (usually foreign ambassadors, authors, journalists, activists, etc.)

i love this play on the phrase 'the world is our campus.' that's sort of what the kennedy center is all about...going beyond the byu world. the new york times is distributed here. for free!
