UNIVERSITY OF EL SEGUNDO / BEFORE YOU STUDY
Lantern Desk
A reading desk with a lantern that brightens in the evening. Sit for a minute before a lesson, then write down the one question you actually have. It stays in your own browser.
Not an official City of El Segundo page.

Let the lantern be the brightest thing you look at. Everything else can go a little dim.

Arrive. Let the lantern be the brightest thing you look at. Everything else can go a little dim.
Notice. Notice what you already know about the subject in front of you. It is more than nothing.
Stay. Find the one question you actually have. It does not need to be clever. Hold it like a warm cup.
Return. Write the question down, or keep it in mind. Open the lesson to the first line and read it slowly.
In the spirit of lantern hours kept in old study halls. Drawn in code for this site; no photographs, no people. The moon phase is computed from a known new moon, not read from a source. No account, no streaks, nothing kept on a server.
