Well, I'm a doofus.
I studied in the stacks today at the library (on a Saturday, I know). I left my things in there to go to dinner, which is a very safe thing to do at Grove City College, especially since we are all issued the same computer when we come in, and everyone hates them, because they're always crashing. No one would want to steal one of those.
So I went off to dinner, and came back to the library around 6:30. I scanned my student I.D. It did the weird beep that means your card has been rejected. I tried again. No dice. I walked around to the front of the library, and that's when I noticed that all of the lights inside were dimmed. Yes. I was locked out of the library, and my homework and computer were locked inside. I felt just brilliant.
The good news is I really don't have that much homework to do this weekend, and I can get my stuff tomorrow when the library opens at 2. If I had been working on a paper this weekend, I might have just spiraled out of control and broken into Henry Buhl Library, which probably wouldn't look that strange here. You know that you're a Grover when you stare up in despair at the library on a Saturday night and wish you could get in.
(this, plus one foot of snow)
At least you "found" time to blog.
ReplyDeleteIt took the library swallowing my possessions. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean it would look strange trying to break into the library?
ReplyDeleteUm, I mean, why wouldn't it look strange?
ReplyDeleteOh, well here people tend to be pretty nerdy and some even look as if they live in the library. So, seeing someone trying to get in after hours wouldn't look too strange.
ReplyDeleteWell, you couldn't get away with that at UTC. Here we've had stories in the campus crime log of people getting in trouble for kicking a traffic cone. The ironic fact is that the alcohol ban on campus is very poorly enforced and their going after people for kicking traffic cones.
