I love finals, I really do. I get up, go to the library, put in some solid work at my own pace, head to the gym when I want, eat when I want. It's a good life. Maybe it's part of the 4th year apathy, maybe it's weather, but finals haven't been stressful this year.
I can't, however, say the same for other people that I've seen at the library this year. It's funny to see people at their breaking limit for an entire 8 hours (well, they are only there for 3 because they take 2 hour lunches, and all sorts of breaks). This library season has seen me notice things of annoyance that I wasn't so sensitive to before, probably because I was stressed myself. I've compiled a short list of retarded things in the library that aren't the normal "turn you cell phone off" or "don't talk":
- Text Messages
- Laptops
- No shoes
- Crackers
- Ear plugs
I don't mind the person having their phone on silent and leaving to talk, no biggie. What I can't stand is this new age of messages that people type out on their phones. It's a constant clicking from them pushing the buttons. It's fairly loud (even if they don't think so), but more importantly they have nothing to say. I read one guy's text message: "what r u doing". What is up with this world? Do you really need to know that moment what that person is doing? Shouldn't you just focus on what you are suppose to be doing?
Laptops:
I go to the library to avoid my computer. MSN is a distraction, music is a distraction, news is a distraction. I see no reason to need to bring your computer. If you are typing a report up, don't come to the library. Your clicking isn't welcome during finals. It is especially frowned upon when you clicking noise is MSN to your friend. Why do you need to come to the library to MSN? Go fuck yourself you self absorbed whore.
No Shoes
No Shoes, No Service. Well, not at the library, a place that everyone thinks is their home. Come in your PJs and kick off your shoes, we'll just have a slumber party! Guess what? If you are so focused on your comfort you probably aren't focusing on your studying. I just hate people that "study so hard" since they are the first to whine. PS, it's gross when you go to the washroom without shoes. There is shit on the floor, I swear.
Crackers
Our brains need sugar to function properly, so you should be allowed to eat in the library. Now, I must ask why people insist on chips and crackers - the loudest food out there. How about a fucking orange or a banana? No, apples are bad too. Who the fuck busts out an apple in the library? The same people that don't wear shoes.
Ear plugs
You'd think ear plugs are the greatest thing while studying, wouldn't you? Block out the noise of others and let you focus on your own little world. When I see someone with ear plugs I run far away, because these are the loudest fuckers in the library. They have no idea how much noise they make because they've plugged their ears. I honestly think that ear plugs should be BANNED from libraries since they only benefit the person using them and make the place a whole bunch louder.
Meh, done for the day. Time for gym and whatnot.
Update on "girls": Some new girl from library is now of interest. Others are doing a lot better now that exams are done. I told you exams make people go crazy!

That's probably because you put it there... j/k.
For laptops: What about the people who "take notes" with their laptop like I do? Ok, fine, I don't take notes most of the time... but what about people who study from power point slides? Well, I guess you could print them off.... Damn.
One more question. You said there was a new library girl. Is this THE library girl or is there another one? Maybe you called her new because you didn't publish her existence to the blog.
It's THE library girl, but it's never been annouced here before.
Yes, I poop on the floor AND I people that typed notes in class have to reason to have to type at the library.
