Never Say Never

2 years in college and I have yet to do one thing...study in the library.

Yeah, yeah....save your gasping. It is true. I have been in college for two years and have somehow managed to stay out of the library all that time.

It's not like I don't like the library, or have some fear of it. Okay let's be honest. I don't like the library. But that really isn't the reason I don't come. I just get stuck people watching the whole time. I tried to come once for the 20 minutes I had between classes freshman year and all I managed was to analyze all the relationships of the people around me.

There were the cuddlers, how you cuddle on two separate chairs while both being on computers was quite a feat in itself.
There were the quarreling couples, or at least what I assumed were the quarreling couples.
The fbook stockers.
The nappers.
The intent Econ studiers

The list goes on. See I couldn't tell you what I was "studying" for those 20 minutes, but I can obviously tell you what was going on around me.

And thus we see, I just saved myself the pain of walking over there, the agony of sitting in silence for hours and hours, the self inflicted endless study time for the last two years.

But ohhh people, never say never.

Where do I find myself writing this post??? THE LIBRARY!

Obviously my people watching has grown into the oh so mature blogging. But at least I made it here. With no prompting from someone else mind you! I think I have been here for about 2 hours and counting....yuck

What do I have to show for my first library adventure of my college career?

A video of myself entering not only the library, but campus for the first time EVER during reading days. (filmed by the lovely Rachel who got to experience my first time by my side. Good thing for her or else I wouldn't have known where to go!)

A new and developing knowledge of Simmel, Gilman, Du Bois, and Mead. Sociology dudes.

And... the analyzing of every person around me. Yep, old habits die hard. BUT at least i'm here. That is an achievement in itself.

Now I think I need to be asked for my number right? Isn't that what happens in the BYU library? Not like I would know, obviously. But word on the street it's the cool thing to do. I guess I better start winking at people or something. I don't think i've ever winked at anyone now that I think about it...but never say never ;)
