Library Fun
I'm waiting for Katie and Laura to go to dinner, so I figured i'd waste time here...So I've finally gotten good at actually using the librarys, especially to study. The one on the left is Mann library, located near my animal science classes. It's nice and new and has 3 floors that have long rows of desks and stacks nearby. It also has computers/printers on the first floor and, I'm happy to say, 4 macs (power macs) that are almost always available. One problem with Mann though, is that it's not open past midnight on weekdays, and not past 6 or so on weekends. It's also kind of far away from my room, so I use it in-between classes mostly.
The library on the left is called the A.D. White reading room or something like that. It's located in Uris library and is open 24/7 (although, get there early on sat to get a seat!). This is my hard-core study area, if I'm there, I'm gonna be there for a while and I'm gonna get some serious work done. I like this room a lot because it has three "floors", with spiral stair-cases in the corners and lots of open space. My imagination definitly goes to town in this room, it's easy to get lost in time. But Uris holds many other great places to study, including the fish bowl, the coctail lounge, and a large room with just desks. Uris has only 3 macs (again, power macs) but they get the job done.
I love the librarys, walking down the stacks and just knowing how much information is packed within those bindings. Walking though Mann is particularly interesting, just today I found a book called "Fishes in North American Deserts"...hmmm. Other days I have found books ranging from Native American horses to Tomatoes for processing. Every day in the library is an adventure :)

Curiosity is the gateway to understand, understanding to wisdom. Taking pride in ones tools is the sure sign of a craftsman. In intellectual matters, we call wise craftsman "scholars".
Keep up the good work dear.
