Problems in the Law Library

So this issue of grimy little first and second years on websites like Facebook, Twitter and Daily Mail and nattering away in the Law Library (quiet area) has truely hit a sore spot for the likes of a super motivated keen library 4th year enthusiast such as myself.

Yesterday I came in (might I add early) to do some of my dissertation and having had a super focused hour of work, in comes some ignorant second years (a guess), there were 3 of them, and all 3 signed into a seperate computer. First thing they go on in social networking sites and the one next to me, the daily mail site. Now don't think I am judging because even I am partial to some Facebook catch ups, but might I add on a short 5 minute break from my work.

From the word go, there was no intention to come in to do work, not one of them took out a memory stick or a book. Then they would see something funny and all crack up and giggle about it and then talk, in not hushed voices about whatever was so funny. Now this went on for a good 45 mins, by which point I had had enough. So being a boffy 4th year, I logged out, packed everything away and left. But not before I made a complaint to the library staff, complaining that I was 'sick and tired' of this and how 'inconsiderate' it was and how they need to employ a 'library monitor'.

Now this brings me to today. Wenna (@WennaSemmens) and myself head down to the library early for a productive day in the very same Law library, we worked solidly for an hour or so, before I got silly and it pains me to admit it but we become those annoying people in the library. Giggling away as Danny Zuko walked past us, literally the identical twin, maybe he was more of a Kenickie. Then, being the pranksters we are, attempting to prank call the Law Library number (I kid you not, I am laughing to myself as I type this), which we thought would be hilarious and then when it rang we would go and answer and pretend we knew who was calling. Now, those of you reading this, may not find this particuarly funny, but I guess it was one of those 'you had to be there' moments.

Anyway now we have become focused again (despite me writing this) and are motivated because we want to go to Pizza Express for lunch.

Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing about it.

Special mention to Morwenna Semmens (my nearest and dearest).

Happy Friday !!!
