Concho Green

I live in Lantana Hall, which is located in "the valley".  When I first arrived at Texas State, the view from my window was pretty shabby.  Dirt, rocks, construction workers and their vehicles crowed the ground below.  I would wake up at seven every morning to the lovely clanking, crashing, and bellowing of the machines at work.  Eventually, some plants arrived.  Unfortunately, these plants remained bound and off to the side for a couple of weeks.  Finally the sod was laid, trees were planted, and the view was transformed.  My roommate and I couldn't be more excited about the new lawn, but it remained closed off for another two weeks.  The day the fencing was removed, I woke up to the sounds of an ecstatic student flying over the fresh grass.  Needless to say, the opening granted the same reaction from students all over campus, and the Concho Green has become a frisbee, tanning, and lounging destination for all those who venture down to the valley.
