I would like to dedicate this post to the fabulous Marriot Library, and their continuing project to build things. Last semester the library was my best friend because they suddenly opened up this great big study area on the second floor that had personal study rooms, and big giant tables. Previous to this, most of the library had been closed off due to the construction of said study areas. Anyways, I loved it because I have this need to spread my books all over the place. Also because it wasn't uncommon for me to spend upwards of eight hours per day at the library (well, mainly just the week before a test), I liked to pack half of what I owned. This included my computer, a Subway Sandwich, my skull (for anatomy), a 42 oz fountain drink, and about 24 text books (hmm, maybe not that many).
Imagine my dismay this semester when I discovered the entrance I frequented had been closed off by none other than the construction people. What! Imagine the fire hazard imposed by only having one exit for the great, sprawling, five-story building the library has become. Where did this terrible idea come from? Another bad change. Remember how the library used to be open till 2 am on week nights? Well now they are only open till 12 (FYI). I'm going to miss that... -sigh- I mean, it used to be a mark of great skill and dedication to get kicked out of the library at closing time, and now it's easy to get kicked out! However, I have made my peace with these changes and relocated my study-fests to another area of the library.
