Mosquito Pond

There have been construction crews right outside of the dorms every morning (VERY early) working to clean out the entire pond that sits between Hall IV and Hall VI.. a pond that the locals call "Mosquito Pond" and other names that embody its grossness and smell. Apparently. I didn't notice if it smelled or not before they started draining it, but it was definitely solid brown. On good days you could see the poor koi fish in it. A local told me they didn't take the fish out before they drained it either :(

So after the pond was completely drained, they brought in dump trucks and loaders to shovel out all the muck and mud that was at the bottom. I think the whole project took about 3 weeks but was still not quite finished.

We enjoyed a monsoon today, all day.
