Libraries!



Today I had a list of books I needed so I went to the National University Library. My cell phone pic above shows the front, I figured I'd document it and all.

The librarian was very helpful and pointed me in the correct direction, I found most of my books without a problem, though the mechanizaed stacks were kind of entertaining. I moved them the first time and realized I really should have checked to see if anyone was on the other side, but since no screams of pain ensued I figured I was alright.

The thing that again, made me feel old, but excited me a bit were the little things. Last time I was in school you had to fight to find the few cubes that had power cords, usually you were on the floor in a corner because that was the only outlet. Today not only does every station have power, but there are multiple outlets at every table, and the Librarian said they're all wi-fied. I would have KILLED for that, being able to work on programs and such at the library instead of the noisy computer lab or my apartment, that would have been wonderful.

It's a bit easier now to work from home, being that I own the place and all, but still it's nice to know I have options.

I now have books, journal articles, and have completely run out of time today if I'm going to make my susi/movie date, so tomorrow is big homework day. I was trying to avoid having to do schoolwork on weekends but that may be unrealistic.

Zodiac tonight, I hope the movie is as good as I've heard =)
