Self-description

“I’m really just a fun-loving bell tower with a love for music. Of course, my lack of mobility prevents me from doing anything too wild, but I get to let loose every evening when the carillon students play my bells. It feels great to have my bells play such beautiful music. Don’t get me wrong, chiming every hour is also great, but there’s something really special about ringing out a melody in full force. When I’m not enjoying my bells, I spend my days gazing at my love across the bay, GG, who I suppose you know as the Golden Gate Bridge. What a beauty. Other than my love for music and GG, I tend to people-watch. It’s great fun seeing the students scurry from class to class, stress crying and ignoring people they know. Sometimes students take phone calls at my base, and I get to hear a little bit of drama to keep me entertained. Besides that, it’s a simple life I lead, welcoming visitors and having my photo taken each and every day.

In terms of the future, I would love to have a new elevator. It would really relieve the stress from the risk of dropping people so many stories.”
