So I've been going to the Columbia gym about once a day since I got here. The gym is actually entirely underground, underneath the main quad. And the path that I walk must go right on top of the pool, because it always smells of chlorine. And I've been realizing that the smell of chlorine is a very happy one for me -- it's linked very strongly with memories of endless summer days by the pool, where the hardest choice was whether to play Marco Polo or do to handstands in the shallow end. I just thought it was funny how such a mundane, industrial smell can instantaneously put me in a good mood. Are there smells that do that for you?
