A night photo of one of the dams Lafayette owns on the Bushkill Creek. This is the dam we looked at during class that Lafayette plans to remove. The crumbling wall that I was standing on did not feel at all safe and the slope to approach it was slippery. The plunge pool was also noticeable because as the water cascaded over the falls, the water travelled in all directions and would definitely be dangerous to be in.
This morning while registering for courses I was struck with how everyone registering for courses was similar to a dam stopping up a river. Many students experienced the site crashing and had delays while trying to log in. Like a river flowing through a dam, there were too many people trying to use the site at the same time, so the site kept crashing and only allowed some people in at a time, similar to how a dam only allows a small amount of water through at each moment, even though there is much more water trying to go through. Also similar to how a river flowing through a dam can produce energy, the frequent site crashes also caused a lot of frustrated energy from students!
