Saint Leo

Saint Leo University offers an online master’s in creative writing degree. Since I live nearby, I decided to drive out and see the campus this evening. I had been working until 7 pm, so I left my apartment about half an hour after sunset.

As I approached the main street to the campus, my Apple GPS tracker redirected my route to help me avoid blocked accessways and led me through a detour. The detour route took me through a desolate, winding road with limited lighting, so I needed to use my high beams.

I noticed a well-lit building and got a spooky feeling, like the one you get from watching horror movies at night. Curious, I saw that the building was a convent, so I continued towards the campus. When I reached the campus, it was well-lit but deserted at that late hour. I drove into one of the main entrances, made a turn at the roundabout, and headed back home. Maybe I’ll even apply for graduate studies tonight.
