Library: Good Place to Study or Place That Will Cause Me to Commit Mass Murder

I have been spending a lot of time in the law library here at Santa Clara University recently and have come across a few things that are starting to bug the living shit out of me. I mean really starting to piss me off to the point where I am going to go postal in here.

1. People that Bring in Whole Meals into the Library. I know we are all super busy and stressed when finals come around and every minute not studying is a minute lost but take the 15 minutes to go eat somewhere else. I am ok with you eating a bag of chips or a zip lock bag of Cheerios in here but when someone comes in with a Henry’s burrito with a side of rice and beans and starts chomping away on it I want to stab a pencil in my eye. Sit out in the lobby for the 15 minutes it takes you to eat it. I promise you that you won’t miss out on that much during that time.

2. People that Answer their Phones in the Library. I mean come on this is just common knowledge. Don’t answer your phone in the library. Don’t even answer it to say “Hey, I can’t talk. I’m in the library.” If it is that important of a phone call, walk your ass outside and answer. Also, don’t think that if you get up and walk into the book stacks we can’t hear you. Freaking idiots.

3. People that Put their Heads Down and Take a Nap. I really don’t have reason for hating this one except it does really bug the hell out of me. I mean honestly how valuable is 15 minute nap with your head down on the desk going to be? I know personally I can’t even get my head in that position and be more comfortable for more then 2 minutes. Sleep at home you douche.

4. People that have full conversations with the people at their table. It’s a library. You are supposed to shut the hell up and study. If you want to have a conversation go to a bar. I come to the library because of the fact that there is supposed to be fewer distractions here then anywhere else. You sitting there having a conversation about what you are doing later or over Christmas break is not supposed to happen here. I mean I am not a dick. If you have a legitimate question for someone sitting around you and you ask them quietly I don’t care but seriously shut the hell up the rest of the time.

I guess that it’s as of right now. I have three more days in this damn library before finals are over for me but if I see one more of these things occur I am going to flip my shit. I mean I will throw a whole fucking table over or punch someone in the face. I mean I should dump my Nalgene bottle of water on the next person I see sleeping or eating a whole meal. I know I am not alone when I make these grievances.

Ok, I’m off my soapbox now. In other news, the Pats will go 19-0, BC will beat Michigan State, the Celtics will win the Eastern Conference at a minimum and I will love every single minute of it.

Also how great is that trading of the late first round pick last year to the 49ers for their first round pick this year. As someone that watches the 49ers a fair amount because they are the local team, they suck. I can’t believe that they even have 3 wins. They are that bad. I don’t know who would win in a game between them and the Dolphins. They are going to lose out and go 3-13, which theoretically should give the Patriots the 2^nd overall pick. At this point they either trade down or draft Darren McFadden. I say get McFadden and play a two back system like the Vikings do now. Two back systems have appeared to become the norm in College Football and it’s starting to creep its way into the Pros. Either do this or draft a younger linebacker because the line backing corps of the Pats are getting kind of up their in age. Either way, good job on that trade 49ers. Now you don’t have a first round draft pick to draft a legit quarterback and believe me, you need one. Alex Smith is not the answer.

I’m Out…
