The full story behind my icon.

I lived in Braiden Hall my freshman year because I was a biochem major, and the Chemistry building was right next door. Despite loving my major, I was terrible at chemistry, and even worse at keeping plants alive - these little things barely made it. Sitting on top of the heater like this was an invitation to knock them over, it seemed.

I noticed the stalks of bamboo looked like they were echoing the chimneys of the chemistry building in the background, so I snapped a quick picture. Now, though, I see the bare tree in the background interacting with the leaves in the foreground more than any thing to do with the smoke stacks.
