party library? or library party?
i'm also stuck grading a stack of final exam essays for the class i'm TA-ing. if tiny fonts and single spacing were bad, try the nightmare of deciphering the sloppy handwriting of 62 college kids. ha.
speaking of which, yesterday i met a few classmates for a study group at one of the university libraries here that is open 24 hours during finals. OMG, i felt so old! it was "undergraduate party central", swarming with the 18-22-year-old college student demographic. although i look young for my age, i'm sure we all stuck out as "mature" doctoral students.
i swear, the library was SO loud, it was like a regular classroom or computer lab. you could totally carry on a regular volume conversation! everyone seemed to be ignoring the cell phone policy and talking on their phones. i could totally tell that some students really had spent the night there. some were wearing pajamas. every single one had a laptop with them, some had ordered pizzas delivered to the library, most had a Starbucks cup, and almost everyone had ipod earbud cords dangling from their ears. WAIT, that sounds like me-- minus the laptop and the pajamas.
anyway, so much for the librarians saying "Shhh!". i wonder if anyone will try to sneak a keg in there this week. the only thing missing from that library seemed to be beer.
**on a TOTALLY different note, it seems there's somoene after after my heart, which is certainly flattering. i mean, i guess you could say i've been kind of-sort of seeing someone. the thing is, it's complicated b/c i'm not sure what i think yet b/c it's sort of come so quickly and definitely as a surprise, with him "pursuing" me so strongly, and me being a woman with INTJ tendencies, and one who needs a lot of space and independence no matter how much i might like you. i guess that's too much information (TMI) here, or is it? maybe you really do want to know about my love life?
