People You Find in the Library

- The girl who's just there because her friend is. And thus is taking up a valuable computer so she can sit next to said friend and is just flippin around on myspace/facebook/etc while she talks (loudly) about how the guy she likes plays too many video games. She is oblivious to the hateful stares being shot her way as other people try and work or lust after the computer she's sitting at.

- The guy who hasn't slept (or showered) since tuesday because he forgot about his 50 page paper and is gulping down redbull as if his life depended on it (which it just might)

- The adult students (always awkward) who have brought their kid(s) because school is no longer in session and must therefore keep them entertained (and quiet) with dora the explorer videos, coloring books, and interactive activities. We all know, however, that running around screaming is much more fun.

- The Dean (he's freaking everywhere!)

- The greeks for their required study sessions (gay) where they don't actually study, just sit around and drink starbucks and sign their cute, colorful log book.

- The guy who's downing energy drinks simply for the hell of it

- The girl who can't find her study group and is wandering around in circles hopelessly lost

- Large groups of black people (sorry) who are just standing by the computers for no apparent reason (someone wanna shed light on this for me?)

- The super serious students who glare at you when you walk by because you're making too much noise

- Ridiculously apathetic librarians

- The kid filling his court mandated community service by restocking (incorrectly) books on the shelves.

- Normal people who just have a paper to write or a test to study for

- Asians who take up all the study rooms

- Someone printing out their paper that's due in the class they're already late for struggling with the rambucks machine.

- Starbucks yuppies

- people standing by the entrance awkwardly waiting for the rest of their group to show up, because they don't really know them that well.

- Cruz watching youtube

- Me. Writing a blog entry and beating the shit out of an annotated bibliography
