Libraries

I am once again at the University library, where I find myself most productive. But let me tell you something, libraries are one amusing place. Perhaps because I find libraries to amusing, they are actually not the best place for me to study, but whatever. You see EVERYTHING at the library. I think one of my favorite things to see at the library is sleeping people. My guess would be that at the library between the hours of 12pm and 6pm, there are probably at least 6 people taking a nap. Just passed out on their text books at some random table. My favorite is watch a person start to fall asleep because they are using every ounce of strength they have left to keep their eyes open, using their fingers, slapping their faces, drinking water but constantly nodding off. And all they are really doing to delaying the inevietable, you are about to fall asleep. Once they realize that fact, it's all over, and that person puts their head down on the table and suddenly that book feels like the softest pillow ever. After several minutes of napping, said person will pick their head up, look around, be embarrassed, and hope that no one actually saw them sleeping in a public place. But who are we kidding, libraries are nice places to sleep, they're quiet, temperature controlled, and no one is going to kick you out (unless you are trying to live there).
Another awesome thing about libraries is the people watching. Literally every type of person comes through the library because we all have one thing in common, homework. Sorority girls, jocks, preppy guys, goths, nerds, weirdos, basically any other stereotype that you can think of.
Libraries are AWESOME.
