During my first year in INSA, it was in the Humanités building. It was a permanent fixture...I probably thought that it must have been there for years (I don't know whether that's the case, though)
I can't remember when exactly, but I believe that sometime during my second year, the rhino was moved out onto the lawn outside the building. I don't know why... and one day it was painted pink. Again, I have no idea why...at first I thought it was vandalism (and maybe it was), then maybe I thought INSA just had leftover paint and decided to paint the rhino, since they were going to leave it there. The rhino has never gone "home" to the Humanités building since, by the way.
I really can't be sure about the timeline for those events...it's a little blurred in my memory whether the rhino was already pink during my second year or whether it was during my third year. But what I can be sure of is when I first saw it in its current state.
It was when I had just returned to INSA last September (meaning my fourth year). I walked past our dear rhino, and *gasp*
Is this a rhino or a cow?
What's more, it has patches of some other colours on it.(On the other photo, it's not as clear but there are traces of yellow.)
Well, I guess it's better than pink :P
I've been wanting to blog about the rhino ever since that day when I first got back, but I didn't take a photo until months later (as you can see, leaves had fallen by the time I took the photos), and after taking the photos they sat on my computer for some time...so there you go, the post is finally published!
