Slaying the Dragon...

I'm once again sitting in the library. I'm thinking about renting out a space in the cubicle on the first floor. It's got everything I need: outlet, plenty of working space, bathroom near by, and a nice little view to the outside world. So what if I can only see tree limbs, I like the color green. So what if it's cold in here, I'll just bring a blanket. So what if I lose all contact with the outside world, I'll be having good grades. Maybe.

I've been here since one p.m. and it is no where near that time anymore. I've seen many people come and go in these long hours. But two things remain the same: my high speed internet connection and the girl sitting across the way from me scribbling on her one-hundred note cards. Together, her and I will conquer the world. The world of Marketing that is.

Don't think I've been studying the entire time. My buddy Everett has been texting me when I get super bored. And of course obviously I'm blogging right now. No, I can't study all the time. That would just be unheard of. I was about to get up and go take the foot stool that was at the table beside me, and then someone decides to sit down and use it. This is highly upsetting only because my feet are tired and I wish to put them up.

Our library is open 24/7 aside from some Saturdays when we have football games and heaven knows NO ONE studies on those days. (Yeah.... right) This means I'll probably be here for a very long time tonight unless I miraculously learn all this crap in a pretty fast time. I'm also missing the ATLANTA BRAVES game tonight, I think I might have to replace my usual background noise of country music with the sweet soothing sounds of the Braves winning and continuing Bobby Cox's reign as one of the coolest old men I know.

Now that it is after five I have officially been surrounded by all different walks from the college world. I've got the sorority girls across from me thankfully, both listening to their music and not talking constantly. Next to me are the group of hipsters studying their chemistry it looks like. They seem nice enough no talking going on at all. And then, there's the obnoxious guys to my left. They just arrived 5 minutes ago. And are still talking, louder than my music actually. I have a feeling I'm going to be sending them death glares the entire night.

I've begged and pleaded with people, but it doesn't look as if any of my friends wish to come see me. Probably for the best because I do need to study. My Taco Bell is getting cold and my Pepsi is getting warm. And I'm pretty sure my Marketing book is collecting dust. It's time to get back to work.

Ralph Brown Draughon Library -- or as I affectionately call it The Dragon-- let's get comfortable. We are in for a long night.

  1. The dragon, haha, I love that. I went to the library at the University of Alabama for like...one day, because I was with someone who had to go, and it was so annoying to be there because some group of guys were talking extremely loud about something. People are just...annoying in general sometimes. I went to school with a guy named Everett lol so that's cool. I think :)
