The Rotunda

So there was painting scaffolding up around the Rotunda--a major opportunity to summit its dome with ease. When I drove by it and saw the scaffolding, I knew I had to try that night while I had the opportunity before they took it down. However, I had not slept in three days because of a ridiculous week of finals and was going home to crash. I set my alarm for 3:00am, but I was so tired that I slept through it and slept all the way until the next day. I woke up slightly bummed for not going, then, when I passed by the Rotunda that day, I couldn't believe my eyes--they had taken down the scaffolding!

So like a fool I missed my golden opportunity. I can only hope that they put the scaffolding back up after graduation to take down whatever camera's and junk they put up there. Otherwise I will have to wait until next year, or attempt another way up. I have thought of two other ways up but they are rather elaborate and I would only try them as a very last resort.
